retaliate

Chapter 712

After the battle between Northern Xinjiang and Northern Liao Dynasty, the Chenzhou Army rose to fame and was known as the First Army in Northern Xinjiang.

In that battle, the sudden emergence of the Chen Zhou Army was even beyond Huang Chunhui's expectations.

Everyone is surprised, not to mention the enemy.

This is the perception of the Northern Border Army. The outside world has only heard about the specific situation of the Chenzhou Army.

Great!

Sharp!
Said to beat Lin Ya's Yunshan rider to the bum...

No matter how much you say, it is better to see.

In front of them, more than a thousand cavalrymen dismounted in unison, knelt on one knee, and shouted in unison.

"Meet the Deputy Envoy!"

Not to mention clean and tidy, a chilling breath rushed over.

At the top of the city, Fang Shuo looked at those civil servants, everyone's expressions were stiff, and even their eyes showed fear.

Fear of one's own army, this emotion is naturally abnormal. Immediately, these civil servants suddenly realized, and turned into shock again.

"It really is a northern Xinjiang tiger!"

"Murderous!"

Murderous aura is something that cannot be explained clearly, and the way is unknown.

You wonder if it's a murderous look on your face... No, that's not the case.The so-called murderous face, for example, some people look very fierce and murderous.For example, some villainous young knights, but this kind of murderous aura is actually a fierce aura, which is the evolution of human nature into temperament.

It is very likely that this person will be severely beaten by others when he turns around, and then kneel down and beg for mercy.

The Chenzhou army in front of him just knelt on one knee, which made the people at the top of the city feel murderous, which is also a temperament.

It's just that, unlike those who need to look fierce, they only need their true colors.

Yang Xuan smiled and said lightly, "Enter the city."

"Enter the city!"

One by one the cavalry mounted their horses and slowly entered the city.

Only then can we see what murderous intent is.

All the soldiers looked indifferent, as if they didn't care about anything.

It also seems that even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of them, they still dare to fight a way.

But who is this for?

Everyone couldn't help looking at Yang Xuan.

The newly promoted Deputy Envoy of Northern Xinjiang Jiedu.

Fang Shuo said in a low voice: "This person has always been very low-key, but today he is a little more public."

Zhu Nian said flatly: "If it were you, you would be more ostentatious than him."

A civil official heard it and blurted out, "That's not publicity, but...", he looked at Yang Xuan carefully, "It's calm."

Yang Xuan turned around and stood with his hands behind his back.

When the cavalry entered the city, people on both sides of the street came out to greet them.

Zhen Siwen led his men to turn around.

"Array!"

More than a thousand cavalry lined up.

The people on both sides were stunned, and even the children didn't dare to cry.

A puff of cold breath rushed towards his face.

Is this the Chenzhou army?

The common people couldn't help but look up at Deputy Envoy Yang on the top of the wall.

Yang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes turned, and he looked at the common people.

To fight against rebellion, even if the banner is raised, will the people accept it, will they support it... what is the attitude of the army in various places, what is the attitude of the officials and generals, there are countless questions, and there are countless questions.

If you want to rely on the army to flatten it, even if it is flattened, in the place where the rich literati are at the core, wars may ignite at any time, which will make Yang Xuan feel devastated.

After all, it is impossible for him to form an army of millions to suppress everywhere... Even if he can, this situation will not last long.When there are sparks everywhere in the world, it is only a matter of time before it collapses.

Yang Xuan thought of many solutions, but in the final analysis, he still had to unite the majority of people.

There is an opportunity in front of you.

Officials are not all pawns and allies of the powerful clan.

The people and the army are relatively simple.

First, shock!

Yang Xuan raised his hand.

Swish!
As far as the naked eye can see, everything is quiet.

"The people in Dengzhou are in chaos, and the central government ordered me to deal with it."

Fang Shuo whispered, "Shouldn't it be suppression?"

Yang Xuan replaced suppression with punishment, dull people didn't hear the implication, but smart people couldn't sit still.

"It's punishment, not suppression!"

In the crowd, someone whispered, unable to hide their excitement.

"Is it a disposal?"

"Correct."

"Didn't you say repression?"

The people were talking in low voices.

Yang Xuan continued: "Someone will definitely ask why it is not suppressed!"

In the city, it was quiet again.

Only Yang Xuan's voice echoed in the city.

"I come from the countryside of Yuanzhou. I grew up in a hard life. I watched the villagers get up early and work in the dark.

After a year of hard work, I thought that with a good year, life would be much easier.

But the subordinate officials came, and the tax collectors came.If it’s okay to meet someone who is doing their duty, then you can have as much as you want.

But how much is the duty?Most of the subordinate staff will blackmail, if you don't give it, they will use various means to deal with you! "

Yang Xuan's eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about what happened back then, "Someone was so angry that he quietly went to report to the officials, but the subordinate staff who was reported by him came the next day, took away the cattle, and beat him up for an excuse.

After living in such a situation, most people can still bear it, thinking, at least they can't die of hunger. "

He thought it was a bit ridiculous that not to die from starvation had become the ultimate goal of the people.

Who was hit in the face by this so-called great power and prosperity?
The people were silent, but the way they looked at Yang Xuan changed.

Han Ji found that the common people used to look at Yang Xuan with reverence in their eyes, but now they have a kind of gentle emotion.

It's like... finding someone of my own.

There is also a feeling of attachment, as if the man in front of him is his backbone.

With just a few words, the boss won the hearts of the common people... He glanced at Tu Chang, and Tu Chang said in a low voice, "This old man's confidence in Mr. Lang has never been shaken."

This man has given many surprises to everyone along the way, and what is in front of him is just another one.

"But what did I see in Dengzhou? It's that the people are in dire straits!"

boom!
The common people created a commotion with various exclamations.

The whole city seemed to be trembling.

Hit people without slapping their faces, and swear without exposing them!
Yang Xuan is a guest official, and when he came to Dengzhou, he should save face for the local officials.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he slapped the Dengzhou official in the face in front of the people.

There is no room left!

"This beast!"

Fang Shuo's face was ashen. Although Zhu Nian seemed calm, his hands were clenched and his legs were shaking. It was not fear, but anger to the extreme.

People in Dengzhou are living in dire straits, who is to blame?

Of course it is an official in Dengzhou.

Yang Xuan is here in the nature of an imperial envoy, and his evaluation of the Dengzhou officials will become the basis for the court to deal with the matter afterwards.

In a word, officials in Dengzhou, please be blessed!
The officials were furious, but the people rejoiced.

"Deputy Envoy Yang is wise!"

Someone burst into tears, "Well said!"

Seeing the emotions of the people, Yang Xuan sighed in his heart.

These people are the best people, as long as they are given a way to survive, they will not make trouble and will fully cooperate.

"I saw people starving!" Yang Xuan said, "For a person, when the two roads of starving to death and rebellion are in front of us, many people will choose to starve to death, but some people will choose to rebel."

Everyone was silent, and a kind of warmth that was understood made many people cry.

"Officials force the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel!"

boom!
These words immediately detonated the city.

Some officials were angry, some were wronged, and some were numb...

Under the impact of various emotions, someone hissed: "This official will do his duty faithfully!"

Zhu Nian couldn't maintain his composure anymore, he said in a deep voice, "Your official has a clear conscience!"

Yang Xuan didn't look back, "The people of Dengzhou are suffering from hunger, they pay taxes, they serve Dengzhou, they serve the officials, they fulfill their duties, they are called devotion.

And you, what did you do?In the past three years, Dengzhou's taxes have been increasing year by year.

You wish Nian the best in the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials for the past three years.What are these things exchanged for? "

Yang Xuan pointed at the people, "It was bought with the blood and sweat of the people, and the wailing of the people. Wishing you the new year, you took those awards and dreamed back in the middle of the night, have you ever been afraid? Are you not afraid of the ghosts of the people coming to claim their lives?"

Zhu Nian sneered, "Foreigner Yang's words, I'm sorry I can't agree with the officials. What about the officials should be decided by the court. In addition, Deputy Envoy Yang dispatched troops privately, and the officials must go to the court."

Since Yang Xuan tore everyone's face off, Zhu Nian turned his back on himself in order to protect himself.

Shangshu court impeached Yang Xuan, he was asking for help.

The emperor, the head of the country... These opponents will analyze it carefully as if they have found a treasure, and then use the information he gave to pull Yang Xuan down.

Fang Shuo looked at his boss and praised: "Good method!"

"Lu Er is here."

There were sergeants screaming.

Yang Xuan shook his head, "Calm down!"

A general shouted towards the city, "Close the city gate!"

"No need!" Yang Xuan said, and turned around.

In the distance, thousands of people can be seen slowly approaching.

Next to him, Zhang Xu said in a low voice: "The clothes are torn, the weapons are messy, kitchen knives, hatchets, and sharpened wooden sticks are the most... there is no armor."

This is a group of beggars.

But it made Dengzhou panic.

The general hurried over and saluted, "Vice Envoy Yang, why didn't you close the city gate?"

"Why close the city gate?" Yang Xuan asked back.

The general looked fearful, "Lu Er and his gang are brutal."

"My subordinates are even more brutal!"

The general was shocked.

Yang Xuan put his hands on the top of the city with a calm expression, and looked at the rioters.

The distance is getting closer.

After more than a hundred steps, the rioters stopped.

It was completely silent.

"It's interesting." Han Ji said with a smile: "This Lu Er can drill a group of farmers who were still farming a while ago into this appearance, which is not bad."

Yang Xuan said: "Heroes come out of troubled times."

Numerous histories have proved that the people are reckless.

"When the Kingdom of Chen fell, how rough was the world? Those farmers, those merchants, and those craftsmen, took up their weapons and climbed up, and they became a tyrant."

Yang Xuan concluded: "Time creates heroes, that's all."

If the world is peaceful, those reckless farmers who should be farming, and those who should be doing business will be ordinary people until their death.

A burly man rode over.

He looks quite rough, with a messy beard, and a pair of huge eyes look more majestic...

"This Lu Er was originally known for his honesty." Han Ji said softly.

"Honestly, many times it's just because there aren't enough temptations." Yang Xuan's expression turned cold.

"I want justice!"

Lu Er's loud voice echoed in the city.

"The little official who killed me Aye, Wang San! I want his head!"

Yang Xuan turned around and locked his eyes on Zhu Nian, "You are fine!"

Zhu Nian shouted: "Fire the arrow and shoot this traitor!"

Yang Xuan snorted coldly.

The shadow of the gun danced, and Tu Chang jumped onto the battlements, flying past.

Gun shadows flashed in front of the eyes of more than a dozen sergeants who raised their bows. They felt their hands lighten up. When they looked carefully, the bowstring broke.

Tu Chang put the gun behind his back, turned around and looked outside the city.

Old Tu, insist on it!
Yang Xuan asked: "Where is Wang San?"

At the top of the city, the eyes of most officials flickered.

Officialdom is like a saucepan. When the saucepan is full of muddy water, the possibility of you wanting to be alone is very slim.Those people will pull you into the water, and if you refuse, you will be marginalized and excluded from then on.

no one there?
Yang Xuan was a little disappointed... Even if it's a sauce jar, someone should get out of the mud and keep it clean!
An official blushed, hesitated several times, and said, "Wang San is hiding."

Yang Xuan pointed at the official, "I will protect you!"

The official burst into tears, choked with sobs and said: "The lower official also wants to be a good person, but...but...in this world, a good person can't live!"

Yang Xuan pointed at him, "Find Wang San!"

Wishing the year to wink at a small official.

Wang Lao Er said, "Why are you winking at him?"

Second child, good eyesight...Yang Xuan said: "People at the top of the city are not allowed to leave without authorization."

All right!

Yang Xuan saw that many officials looked pale, as if mourning a concubine.

"There must be an explanation, otherwise, Yeye will attack the city!"

Lu Er looked at the opened city gate with greed in his eyes.

There are many supplies in Dingdong City, money, food, grass and weapons, everything.There are also many people who are dissatisfied with the government. He only needs to raise a big banner, and he can pull a powerful force.

At that time, it may be possible to look beyond Dengzhou... If you win a few more states, will you have an army of [-]?

The northern border army is nothing more than a hundred thousand soldiers.

This……

At the top of the city, Yang Xuan said, "I'll go!"

"Lang Jun!" Han Ji said, "Take more guards."

"No need!" Yang Xuan said.

Although Yang Xuan's cultivation base is mediocre, it is not comparable to that of yesterday's farmer.

"They have bows and arrows," said the old thief.

"Bring a guard!" Han Ji almost begged.

Yang Xuan's eyes turned, Wu Da and the others held their heads high, and Qiu Longwei was eager to try.

"Sven!"

The deputy envoy was indeed cultivating a certain... Zhen Siwen was ecstatic, "Here!"

"You come with me!"

"Leader!"

Zhen Siwen's face turned red with excitement, and he swore that if anyone wanted to hurt the deputy envoy, he had to step on his own corpse first!
The two rode their horses and slowly left the city gate.

At the top of the wall, Fang Shuo said: "Na Lu Er is born with supernatural power, if Yang Gou is accidentally killed by him..."

Zhu Nian narrowed his eyes, "Then, he underestimated the enemy, and it's his own fault!"

Han Ji came over, "Ahem!"

Zhu Nian and the two just sneered.

Han Ji said, "I forgot to tell you, but before leaving Chang'an, the deputy envoy got the documents for dispatching troops."

Zhu Nian's lips trembled.

Looking at Yang Xuan who was leaving the city, his eyes were extremely fierce.

You, why don't you die?

When Han Ji went back, the old thief said, "Why tell him this."

"Mr. Lang said that he will destroy the restraint of Dengzhou officials little by little until the final blow, so that this matter will be done beautifully."

Outside the city, Yang Xuan waved his hand, and Zhen Siwen stayed behind.

He rode his horse close to Lu Er alone.

Lu Er drew his sword and said vigilantly, "Where is Wang San?"

"Wang San is being arrested. If, as you said, he killed the people, then I will give you an explanation."

"My aunt was driven crazy, and she committed suicide by jumping into the river." Lu Er's eyes were red.

"As I said, I will investigate one by one. Whether it is the tragedy of your family or someone else's, I will clean it up one by one when I come."

Yang Xuan looked indifferent, "I know that the more humble a person is, the easier it is to get lost after gaining power. You have thousands of people under your command now, and you must be thinking some things you shouldn't think about. Here I am, these thoughts , Get rid of them all!"

Lu Er narrowed his eyes, "Who are you?"

Zhen Siwen behind raised his hand and shouted: "Big banner!"

At the top of the city, Lin Feibao raised the banner with one hand.

"Are you literate?" Yang Xuan asked.

Lu Er nodded, "Knows more than a hundred characters."

There are scholars among the rioters, and these more than a hundred characters were learned by Lu Er and him.

He looked up and saw a big flag fluttering in the wind at the top of the city.

that word...

"Yang Ziqi, you!"

Lu Er looked at Yang Xuan in horror, a thought lingered in his mind.

Yang Xuan nodded, and said calmly: "I'm here, do you want to go back to the army and fight me, or what?!"

The people on the top of the city, the soldiers at the gate, Zhen Siwen behind, and thousands of rioters not far away...

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Er dismounted, knelt down, and lowered his head.

"Little man, willing to surrender!"
