Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1406 Diffusion
The news of Bohai's surrender to Beijing, driven intentionally or unintentionally, blew across Hebei like a gust of wind, and gradually spread to the surroundings.

In Kansai, where Shao Sheng is loyal, everyone has long been used to winning one after another.After hearing about it, he praised it, and by the way, he would boast about the great achievements of the sage, and talk about his "glorious past" of transferring grain and grass for Shao Sheng, and how proud he is.

Some people are eager to inquire whether the national value of Bohai Sea is worth going to.

Kansai has been in peace for many years. Jingzhaofu, Yaozhou, Huazhou, Tongzhou and other places have fewer people and more people. Those who immigrated in the early years have reaped great benefits. It is said that they have a family business that can be passed on to future generations. People are envious.

If the land in Bohai State is relatively fertile, and the climate is not so cold that people cannot survive, it is not impossible to venture into it.

A saint is a saint, and his victory will always bring tangible benefits to us Kansai people.

In Zhili, Henan, and Huaihai, what everyone is concerned about is that after the last "enemy" in the north is removed, may the government tax collection be less urgent?

After fighting for many years, everyone has paid too much.Many Tutuan peasants never returned after taking part in the battle. They did not reap much benefits, but their families lost their mainstay.

According to the singing method in the opera, it should be a peaceful and prosperous age, right?

On the land of Helong who rebelled against Xinping, the Qiang, Tubo, Uighur, and Dangxiang chieftains showed horror.

Why are Khitan people and Bohai people so unreasonable?I'm afraid it won't be broken after a face-to-face meeting?So useless, it's -- alas!

From now on, should the imperial court boycott the collection and taxation?
Those tribes close to those saints are also hateful and overbearing. Do you want to do anything with them?

Han people continue to migrate from the Central Plains and occupy their land and pastures. Should we force it?
To be honest, the last incident was the most unacceptable to them.My summer pasture is used for grazing in rotation, but you used it to cultivate wasteland?

The conflict of interests touches the soul the most, and it is difficult to back down.But now it seems that it is becoming more and more dangerous to continue to fight hard with the court.

melancholy!

It is already the twelfth lunar month, and the atmosphere of the New Year in Guangling City is getting stronger and stronger.

Although there were frequent reports of war from the north, Li Chengnai, the governor of Chuzhou, was quite capable. Using the Huai River as a screen, he defended it like a golden soup, which caused the Xia people to suffer several losses and greatly boosted their morale.

Jiangxi is a bit frustrating.In the two expeditions, they didn't ask for cheap. On the contrary, they lost soldiers and generals, which greatly damaged morale.But after all, the distance is not so important to Guangling, and most people don't pay much attention to it.

The eighth day of December, the twelfth lunar month.

The proverb goes: "When the wax drum sounds, spring grass grows."

On this day, the villagers beat thin waist drums, wore beards, and acted as vajra warriors to fight off the epidemic. It was quite lively.

Yang Wo rode a steed and watched from afar.A large group of sergeants followed behind them, with arrogant faces, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao were not at ease, they rode their horses and took a few steps forward, hesitating to speak.

All of a sudden, Yang Wo laughed out loud, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed out like an arrow from the string.

Xu Wen and Zhang Hao didn't know what was going on, so they subconsciously followed.

Seeing a fast horse rushing into the team, the villagers panicked and the formation became chaotic.

Yang Wo saw no one else in his eyes, only staring at a slender girl, rushed to her in the blink of an eye, stretched out his hand, and hugged her.

The girl panicked and struggled desperately.On the contrary, this aroused Yang Wo's playfulness, the smile on his face became brighter, and he kept teasing: "Little lady, don't worry, when I have had enough, I will throw you to the people below, and keep you comfortable."

The girl panicked even more when she heard the words, crying and crying.

"Bastard!" A young man rushed over and roared angrily.

"Whoosh!" An arrow flew out, and the arrow hit the young man's throat. The strong force directly brought him down to the ground, and soon there was no sound.

"Badger slave!" A middle-aged man cried out.

"Why don't you cut the grass and get rid of the roots?" Yang Wo said.

The sergeant understood, and shot another arrow, and the middle-aged man also fell to the ground.

The villagers were terrified, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, throwing waist drums and masks all over the ground.

"No!" As early as Yang Wo gave the order to cut the weeds and root them out, Zhang Hao wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xu Wen.

"Have you not seen Liu Cun's death?" Xu Wen whispered.

Zhang Hao's heart trembled.

After the first king Xingmi discussed Pingtian, he used his son Yang Wo to town Xuanzhou.Later, he became seriously ill, and urgently ordered his son to go to Guangling to take over the throne, and Liu Cun, the general, went out of the town of Xuanshe.The son of the world wanted to take his tent and his own soldiers to do it, but he couldn't keep it, so he gave up.

But after Yang Wo succeeded to the throne, he summoned Liu Cun to Guangling and killed him.

Liu Cun is a native of Tangzhou. He followed the king in his early years and was loyal.But this kind of loyal general was unexpectedly killed by the son, isn't it a big joke?
If this is the only incident, the death of Zhou Yin, an important counselor of the late king, would be even more chilling.

Zhou Yin is a native of Shuzhou. He is upright and loyal to what he does. He used to be a magistrate of the Huainan shogunate, and his qualifications are very old.

When the first king was seriously ill, Zhou Yin bluntly said that Yang Wo was not the protector of the family, and suggested that Liu Weiquan lead the military mansion, and return the position to the big one after the sons grow up.

Because of this sentence, Zhou Yin was hated by Yang Woji.

When it came time to attack Jiangxi, Zhou Yin also said that Li Siyuan and Zhou Dewei were generals in the north, and that the Jin soldiers were brave and good at fighting, so they should not be taken lightly.He refused to listen, lost two battles, and lost his master and apprentice.After the news came back to Guangling, Zhou Yin was killed again out of some psychological reason.

Zhou Yin and Liu Cun, one civil and one military, were all veteran generals in Huainan.

In this way, everyone in the old court felt in danger and didn't know what to do.

Xu Wen and Zhang Hao were the ministers appointed by Yang Xingmi. They followed Yang Wo every day, and they were even more frightened, fearing that they would be killed one day.

This guy is clearly a vengeful master.In the past, when he was the son of the eldest son, he still pretended to be a fake, but now that he has succeeded to the throne, it is true that there is no room for hatred.Annoyed him, Zhou Yin and Liu Cun can kill, how can they be an exception?

To be honest, if the Xia people hadn't put too much pressure on them and they shouldn't fight among themselves, everyone wouldn't be used to this trash.

After the villagers over there fled, Yang Wo chased after them. When he saw a few old people falling to the ground, he laughed and rode his horse back when they cried out in pain.

When passing Xu Wen and Zhang Hao on the wrong horse, he glanced at them and said, "Do you have any opinions on what I have done?"

Xu Wen and Zhang Hao bowed their heads and remained silent.

"Hmph!" Yang Wo sneered and said, "I know you guys don't like me. Since you say I'm not talented, why don't you kill me and become an envoy?"

When Xu Wen and Zhang Hao heard this, they got off their horses and knelt down on the ground, and said anxiously: "Your Highness has misunderstood, we have received the great kindness of the late king, how can we bear the Yang family?"

Yang Wo's cold eyes turned around the two of them twice, and said: "In the past few years, you two have repeatedly spoiled my good deeds. This is also to persuade, and that is also to stop. Why don't you just spend more money and rob a few women? , Did you kill a few old men who don’t know the so-called? Seeing the sky to persuade you, is it annoying? Kill you sooner or later.”

The two kowtowed repeatedly, begging for forgiveness.

Yang Wo didn't answer, rode his horse and swung his whip away.

After a long time, Xu Wen and Zhang Hao got up.

"What should I do?" Zhang Hao asked, his face turning pale.

Xu Wen pulled him aside, sighed, and said in a low voice, "You can't act rashly. Have you heard the news that the Shao bandits attacked Bohai Kingdom?"

Zhang Hao nodded, and said: "The Khitan was destroyed last year, and the Bohai Sea is destroyed this year. How quickly! The next one will probably be Huainan, right?"

"Nine times out of ten." Xu Wen's face was sad and bored, and he only heard him say: "If there are still people in the towns of Hedong and Hebei to restrain the Shao bandits, the matter will be simple. Yang Wo is not like a master, but also If you lose the heart of the elders, what can you do if you kill them? But it is different now, there are Xia bandits in Huaibei, if you kill Yang Wo, under the turmoil of the people, it is possible to resist the surging Xia bandits?"

Zhang Hao shook his head, but he was still not reconciled, and said: "What if we only imprisoned him? Now that all the military power is in Guangling, how many soldiers do Yuan Cong's veterans have? Besides, they also look down on Yang Wo, and they don't even like him. However, if you only imprison and do not kill, and Zhou Ben, Qin Fei and others make a fuss, most people will still stand on the sidelines."

Xu Wen was a little moved, but after thinking for a long time, he still vetoed it: "No, it's too risky. However, it's good to make some preparations in advance."

"How to prepare?" Zhang Hao asked.

"In the previous attack on Jiangxi, the three generals Zhu Sicheng, Fan Sicong, and Chen Fan were defeated. Why don't we find a way to make Yang Wo feel bad for them and drive out the army." Xu Wen said.

Zhu Sicheng, Fan Sicong, and Chen Fan are Yang Wo's pro-army generals. Xu Wen and Zhang Hao can't control them. It is better to use Yang Wo's mean and ungrateful character to drive these three away, and then slowly control the pro-army.

"Good idea!" Zhang Hao said happily.

Xu Wen also smiled.This is only the first step. If successful, the next step is to transfer the Ma Jun of the East Court in the city.

The Ma Jun of the East Court is a strong man carefully selected by Yang Wo, and there are thousands of them.Having them in the city is a huge hindrance.Just a while ago, Yang Wo felt that the polo field was not spacious enough, so it is better to persuade him to transfer the East Court horse army out of the city, and use the barracks as a field, and he would readily agree.

"After controlling Yang Wo, what should we do?" Zhang Hao asked suddenly.

Xu Wen glanced at him, and said: "First use his name to punish dissidents, and firmly control the various ministries of the Ya army. Then let's take a step and see, I prefer to surrender the Xia people."

Zhang Hao was startled, and said in shock, "Xiangxia?"

"Is there any other way now?" Xu Wen asked back: "The north has been unified, and there are only a few feudal towns left in the south. Hangzhou Qian, I don't think I can be stubborn to the end. Once things can't be done, Qian Liu is very likely to offer land and surrender, as in the story of Zhao Kuangning. King Shenzhi of Fuzhou is likely to follow in the footsteps of Qian Liu. Guangzhou Liu Yin may feel that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he wants to resist for a while, but he is weak and surrounded by many people. He is a close friend of the Shaw family, so it is difficult to persevere to the end. Ma Yin in Hunan may sincerely resist, but to be honest, how long can he resist? Jingnan, Jiangxi, Qianzhong and even Lingnan West Road are surrounded by four sides and cannot be supported by one tree."

Zhang Hao pondered for a long time, and had to admit that Xu Wen's words made sense.But just dropped like this, but he couldn't be reconciled.

Xu Wen patted him on the shoulder, and said: "I didn't say that I would definitely go to Xia Xia to take a step."

"Yes." Zhang Hao nodded thoughtfully.

　There are many things to do, Chapter 2 may be early in the morning.
