Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 148 Cut off the back road
Chuzhou.

Zhao Kuangyi ignored Zhao Kuangyi with all his enthusiasm, and felt depressed in his heart.But the little days that should be lived have to be lived.

The two brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi were away, and Dou Yi and Zhao Pu were in charge of Chuzhou's military affairs and were fully responsible for all affairs in Chuzhou.

The two intend to imitate Luo Youdu's Huaiyan policy in Luzhou, win the hearts of the people, consolidate the foundation of Dazhou in Chuzhou, and wipe the buttocks of the Zhao brothers.

But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

No matter how good the benevolent government is, it still needs room to display it.

Luo Youdu was famous all over the world for forcing Meng Shu to surrender, and he is a first-class hero in the world.He entered Luzhou to hold the army neatly, and did not commit any crimes in autumn.Even so, those merchants did not believe that Luo Youdu would do business with them with a positive attitude.

The first pot of gold was obtained by Luo Youdu's forced "protection fee".

After the merchants made a profit, coupled with Luo Youdu's reputation, it was only in Luzhou that people could safely trade with him.

And the same goes for state gentry.

Without the foundation laid by Luzhou, how could they trust Luo Youdu's few words?

But which col did Dou Yi and Zhao Pu come from?

Dou Yi is still good, at least she still has the status of Jinshi, with a solid foundation in literature, and she is not hated when interacting with gentry in the city.

Zhao Pu was miserable. Although he was full of strategies, he hadn't read all the four books and five classics, so he was familiar with "The Analects of Confucius".Talking to the gentry and Confucian scholars who have actually read the book, the cultural background will be revealed as soon as they open their mouths.

Although he didn't show it, how could Zhao Pu not feel the naked contempt in his heart?
The Chuzhou government treasury was used by Zhao Kuangyin to reward generals, and the gentry and merchants in the city were also searched by Zhao Kuangyi to reward the army.

Dou Yi and Zhao Pu have no money to collect salt at all, and want to sell their names like Luo Youdu?

Who will bird them again?Why do you gain the trust of Chuzhou gentry and merchants?

Therefore, Dou Yi and Zhao Pu were helpless in the face of the mess left by the Zhao brothers.

There is a good answer sheet in front of them, and they can't copy it without ink.

The two of them could only stare at each other, there was nothing they could do.

"Zeping..." Seeing that the Huaiyan road was blocked, Dou Yi planned to go to the countryside to enter the county in person: "The autumn harvest is approaching, and the counties and villages in the prefecture are also restless. They must not be influenced by the Baijia army. I will personally visit the county magistrate, Elders, let them help appease the people. Chuzhou City will be handed over to you..."

Zhao Pu agreed with a wry smile, and he began to regret why he didn't read more books in the early years.

Looking at the official documents left by Dou Yi, Zhao Pu took them over to deal with.

This kind of trivia in the state capital is a piece of cake for Zhao Pu.

Although everything is complicated, he can easily find the source, grasp the fundamentals and make accurate judgments.

After doing everything well, Zhao Pu felt hungry and walked out of the office, only to see more than ten riders rushing towards him.

A general in armor was approaching, pointing his spear at Zhao Pu's throat.

Zhao Pu's face was pale, with beads of sweat all over his forehead.

The general came to sit on the horse, and said coldly: "Changshi Douyi? Or the judge Zhao Pu?"

Zhao Pu didn't dare to hide it and said, "Zhao Pu!"

"Where's Dou Yi?"

Zhao Pudao: "I went out of the city early in the morning. I said that I went to a nearby county and village to comfort the people. I don't know where exactly."

Zhao Pu knows the current affairs best and doesn't hesitate at all, but he is not selling Dou Yi either.

He knew the approximate whereabouts of Dou Yi, but he just said something that everyone in the government office knew.

Lai Jiang took back the spear and said, "Tie him up to me, and control the remaining three gates at speed!"

With his hands tied, Zhao Pu pushed out of the government office, squinting at the flags held high in the hands of the soldiers, with the word "Guo" written on them.

Instantly understood everything, it was Haozhou Guo Tingzhi who led the troops.

Why is there no news at all?

Nine times out of ten, the gentry in the city rebelled and cooperated with Guo Tingzhi to take the city.

As for why Guo Tingzhi was able to send troops to Chuzhou with Zhao Hongyin outside and the Baijia Army inside, Zhao Pu didn't know.

Just as Zhao Pu guessed.

It was Guo Tingwei, the supervisor of Haozhou, who came here.

Guo Tingwei, whose name is Xinchen, was born in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and his ancestor was Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Ting said that his family had a profound background, he was eager to learn since he was a child, and he was proficient in the art of war.

When Luo Youdu and Zhao Kuangyin ravaged Luzhou and Chuzhou, they had already expected that Haozhou would not be spared, and Huang Renqian, the state general, made preparations for the Zhou army to invade Haozhou.

Sure enough, within a few months, Zhao Hongyin led his troops to attack Haozhou.

Guo Ting said that he had the opportunity to defeat Zhao Hongyin many times, but he never played, pretending to be invincible and defending Haozhou.

Zhao Hongyin didn't think too much about it, Nantang's poor record really made it difficult for people not to underestimate the enemy.

Zhao Hongyin couldn't take Haozhou, so he captured the counties and villages around Haozhou City.

The soldiers under Zhao Hongyin's command were bandit soldiers with the habit of looting common in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Although Zhao Hongyin had repeatedly restrained them, they could not avoid small-scale deception and looting.It's just that they don't go wherever they go or kill like they used to.

This also aroused the Haozhou civil uprising.

If Zhang Xiong's uprising was forced by the Southern Tang Dynasty to make him unable to survive, then the Baijia Army in Haozhou was the fault of Zhao Hongyin.

The Zhou army led by Zhao Hongyin fought back and forth with the Baijia army in Haozhou.

Guo Ting said that he was watching from the wall in Haozhou City.

Until receiving the military order from Qi Wang Li Jingda.

Guo Tingzhi laughed loudly: "I've seen that Zhao Kuangyin is not pleasing to the eye! You really deceived me and no one in Tang Dynasty!"

He handed Li Jingda's military order to Huang Renqian.

Huang Renqian saw that Li Jingda's military order was for them to go south by light boat to capture Chuzhou in order to cut Zhao Kuangyin's back.

Huang Renqian said: "King Qi seems to have mobilized troops from Sizhou and Chuzhou. Is this to encircle and suppress Zhao Kuangyin with the entire East Huainan Road?"

Guo Ting said: "That's true. Zhao Kuangyin is decisive with his troops. He is extremely wise and brave. He is the enemy of thousands of people in the world. Neither you nor I may be his opponent. This time, King Qi intends to deliberately lure him to fight, and join forces to encircle and suppress him. If we don't want him to continue to be rampant, if we don't suppress his arrogance, we will all become laughing stocks."

Huang Renqian murmured: "Chuzhou is going well, Zhao Kuangyin despises Confucianism, Zhao Kuangyi killed He's family, the gentry have long been dissatisfied, they can instigate rebellion. But how to deal with the Baijia Army and Zhao Hongyin in Haozhou?"

Guo Ting said with a smile: "You send someone to contact the Chuzhou gentry, and Zhao Hongyin will leave it to me. I heard that this Zhao Hongyin is still Zhao Kuangyin's father, so I sacrifice him to the flag first. As for the Baijia Army, what they want is to protect the fields. As long as I Waiting for the promise of tax exemption, this year’s harvest in Haozhou will not be taken, and they will naturally stop.”

Guo Ting said that he had the spirit of his ancestors, and took advantage of the dense water network of Haozhou to attack Zhao Hongyin's tribe from four directions.

Zhao Hongyin didn't even know how many enemies there were, so he fled in a panic after being killed.

Zhao Hongyin avoided the fate of being captured alive under the desperate protection of his personal guards.

After Guo Tingwei personally appeased the Baijia army, he ordered the front soldiers to disguise themselves as the Zhou army and go down in a light boat, and took Chuzhou with the help of the Chuzhou gentry.

Defeating the enemy, suppressing the chaos and taking the city was done in one go, without delay.
