Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 639 Justice and Self-interest

Zhang Wu didn't do anything, he just stood up and walked slowly to the door.

Xu Ya was very dissatisfied with the attitude of Zhang Wu, a mud-legged man, and Zhang Wu suddenly mentioned the former Jiedu envoy Xu Shuji. Could this mud-legged man have seen his clan uncle?
It shouldn't be, what kind of character Xu Shuji is!

Zhang Wu killed Xu Shuji, and Zhang Xun finally wrote to the court to resist Zhang Wu's crime of killing Xu Shuji.

However, the court also knew that Xu Shuji's death was a bad debt. Now that the Bianzhou army had disbanded, no one was clamoring to avenge Xu Shuji, and Zhang Xun was a hero who had just made great contributions, so Zhang Xun was not held accountable.

The Tang court only publicized that Xu Shuji was killed by the puppet Yan assassins, and sealed off his wife and children, and Xu Shuji's family did not make trouble anymore.

In troubled times, human life is like nothing, even if you are a Jiedu envoy, you may be killed by the little Qiu Ba.

Therefore, everyone in Bianzhou City knew that Xu Shuji was assassinated, but they didn't know who was assassinated.

When Zhang Wu walked out of the Jiedu envoy's mansion, a group of armored soldiers surrounded him and asked Zhang Wu:

"General, what's the matter?"

Xu Ya was killed by Zhang Wu, and now the Xu family has completely lost power in Bianzhou City.

Human beings are such animals. When alone, they may be submissive, but when there are many people, they will naturally summon up courage.

These are tigers and wolves who have seen blood on their blades!

Xu Ya is not a fool either. Before participating in the negotiation, he also summoned the family's private soldiers to ambush in the Jiedushi's mansion. If Zhang Wu didn't agree to his conditions just now, the family's private soldiers who were ambushing around would rush out to attack Zhang. Wu catches.

Xu Ya didn't know how these Zhang Wu's brothers rushed into Bianzhou City, but at this time he was already extremely regretful, why didn't he agree to Zhang Wu's conditions and hand out the reward money promised to the soldiers.

"That's right, why don't we blackmail more? Or copy them all!"

"If it is to occupy Bianzhou and bribe soldiers to kill all the wealthy households in Bianzhou for money, then it is selfishness."

But now that the governor has dereliction of duty and escaped, and the knife in Bianzhou is in the hands of Zhang Wu, these wealthy households only then remembered that human life was as light as grass during the war.

Even a rich family like them would have to take off half of their skin if they wanted to protect their family. How could they be obsessed with negotiating with Xu Ya and Zhang Wu for a little reward?

Xu Ya was even more speechless, Zhang Wu whispered in his ear:

"The last time I saw the former Jiedu Envoy, General Nan begged hard but refused to send troops. If Zhang Mou hadn't persuaded him, Xu Jiedu Envoy would lose his righteousness."

"It's a matter of course to pay off debts. My Bianzhou army is not a bandit soldier. The reward promised that day must not be less than a penny. It will be sent to the military camp outside the city before noon tomorrow. Is there a problem?"

"If Bianzhou City was robbed for money, then what's the difference between our Bianzhou New Army and An Qingxu's bandits?"

Many players fell silent.

"Let the people of Pengcheng see the loyalty of our Bianzhou people!"

"It is easy to change from a human to a beast, but difficult to change from a beast to a human. Once military discipline is corrupted, it is difficult to rectify it."

Zhang Wu sighed and said, "They still don't agree to pay the reward."

If these wealthy households are killed, the order in Bianzhou City will collapse, and he must stay in Bianzhou City to maintain order at that time.

Several wealthy households present expressed their desire to "help" the Xu family with money, and Zhang Wu left satisfied.

"I didn't expect to see Patriarch Xu in Bianzhou today, so I understood why everyone said that Patriarch Xu and Jiedushi were similar."

Then these wealthy families began to buy grain in nearby cities and helped Zhang Wu raise grain and grass.

"I killed Xu Shuji back then because Xu Shuji refused to rescue Suiyang because of his personal grievances with Zhang Xun. I also killed Xu Shuji out of justice."

Zhang Wu continued: "The most difficult thing in the world is to keep your bottom line."

Xu Ya was frightened by Zhang Wu's gaze, because he couldn't hide the gaze of a person who wanted to kill him alone. Obviously, in Zhang Wu's eyes, Xu Ya was already a dead person.

These soldiers immediately drew out their sabers and shouted: "We are fighting for Bianzhou City, and these gentlemen will turn their faces as soon as the bandits retreat?"

But soon, there was a commotion at the gate of Jiedushi's mansion, and Xu Ya's heart twitched.

"What's the difference between the Bianzhou new army and An Qingxu? Because we are a disciplined army, we guard Bianzhou is what the people hope for, and it's a just thing. Only in this way can we unite as one and block An Qingxu's army."

Zhang Wu easily accepted the demands of the wealthy households. Xu Ya was relieved at first, but he didn't expect Zhang Wu to give in so easily.

On weekdays, these private soldiers have a lot of public grievances. Xu Ya doesn't know that the one he sent to watch the city gate has long been assassinated by the player, and the Bianzhou city has long been controlled by Zhang Wu.

An assassin of the Tang Army threatened Xu Shuji, handed over the battle to Nan Jiyun, and killed Xu Shuji in public. Although Xu Ya did not witness this incident with his own eyes, he had also heard about it from Xu Shuji's personal soldiers.

"Patriarch! That Zhang Wu brought people in!"

Zhang Wu shook his head and said:

The Xu family's property was naturally divided among the various families, and these few families gathered together again to collect the previously promised rewards.

Of course, the court in Chang'an was not aware of all these subtle changes.

Several wealthy households around Xu Ya had already knelt down and shouted one after another:
"General Zhang, spare your life! I'm willing to reward you!"

Xu Ya's face turned pale with fright, but before he could escape, the gate of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion collapsed. Zhang Wu, whose face was covered with blood, stood at the gate of the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion with a knife, looking at the arrogant and domineering man just now. Xu Ya.

"That's right! Before I joined the army, I helped my mother-in-law find a new family! I joined the army with the heart of death!"

"My Bianzhou new army is going to go eastward to pursue the bandits and support Pengcheng. Will the army be willing to sponsor the food and military supplies needed?"

And the appearance of the God of Killing described by the personal soldier, Xu Ya recalled, was exactly the same as Zhang Wu!
Hearing what Zhang Wu said again, Xu Ya was even more frightened speechless.

Zhang Wu sent the soldiers' rewards, and then trained troops outside the city of Bianzhou, and did not bring troops into Bianzhou.

"Even if you go bankrupt, you still have to support the rebel army!"

All the wealthy households expressed their opinions one after another and donated generously. Zhang Wu just smiled. He looked at Xu Ya and said:

The player who took refuge in Zhang Wulai couldn't help asking:
"Boss Zhang, why don't we occupy Bianzhou!"

As the Xu family, Xu Ya naturally knew how Xu Shuji died.

But Xu Ya still stood strong, although his legs were still shivering, but it was too late for him to kneel again.

After Zhang Wu finished speaking, the players all lowered their heads.

The private soldiers raised by these wealthy households usually eat delicious food and drink as enshrinements, and in Bianzhou City, they often rely on the power of their masters to run amok.

Those wealthy households naturally said: "No problem, no problem!"

"I would like to!"

After Xu Ya fell to the ground, Zhang Wu said:
"My Bianzhou new army is a rebel army, not a bandit soldier. We can't lose anything that belongs to us, and don't take anything that doesn't belong to us!"

"I will not harm justice for selfishness!"

In fact, after Xu Shuji's death, the Xu family gave up a lot of property and took refuge in the new governor to keep their position.

Only then did Xu Ya vaguely recall that the god of killing that Xu Shuji's personal soldier mentioned that day seemed to be named Zhang Wu as well.

Zhang Wu went on to say: "If the wealthy family oppresses the people and the people are full of resentment, I will naturally kill them."

"I killed Xu Ya because he led the wealthy households to try to take away the reward money. It is just to kill him."

Zhang Wu continued: "Our Bianzhou army has always had a tradition of rescuing friendly troops. When Xu Jiedu was in office, he handed over all the soldiers under his command to General Nan in order to rescue Suiyang. Now the An thief has gone to Pengcheng. , if breaking Pengcheng is a disaster for the southeast, it will ruin the overall situation of the court."

Zhang Wu pointed to Xu Ya's body and said:
"This thief has evil intentions. He wants to embezzle the military resources of our new army in Bianzhou, and wants to hinder our new army's rescue of Pengcheng. Now that the military situation is urgent, Zhang will kill this dog first, and then he will plead guilty to the court in the future!"

He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at Zhang Wu. Just when he was about to speak, Zhang Wu rushed over and pierced Xu Ya's heart with a sharp blade.

It's just that these days An Qingxu bandits besieged the city, and Xu Ya didn't connect that Zhang Wu with the Zhang Wu in front of him for a while.

"But the money the Xu family wants to pay?"

Everyone said something to me, and expressed the anger in their hearts. As soon as the bandit soldiers retreated, these gentlemen refused to admit it, which immediately aroused resentment in the army.

If Zhang Wu wants to march eastward, he needs Bianzhou to provide food, grass and military resources.

In fact, what Zhang Wu didn't say is that the players in Bianzhou today are basically generals and players nearby, without administrative talents.

Rather than doing this, it is better to keep these wealthy households first, and wait until the players who are good at administrative work arrive in Bianzhou City, and then liquidate these wealthy households.

"When we got down there, Dai Zhangwu asked Xu Jiedu how he was."

Obviously he had people guarding the gate of the city, and didn't let these poor soldiers outside the city come in, so how could Zhang Wu still make people make trouble?
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Ya was just about to send someone out to check it out, but he didn't expect that several private soldiers who were bleeding all over their bodies broke into the lobby.

But now it is too late to regret, Zhang Wu looked at the crowd and said:

An Lushan's damage hadn't been repaired before, but An Qingxu and Shi Siming came here again.

Organizations from prefectures to counties were almost destroyed. The officials sent by Chang'an were killed again by An Lushan. After Datang recovered these areas, they were killed again. An Qingxu came and killed them again.

The imperial court has almost completely lost control over the areas around Luoyang, the northern part of Henan Province, Ziqing and other Qilu areas, not to mention the three towns of Hedong, the imperial court has almost become deaf and blind.

From the perspective of the Tang court, the current situation is that Shi Siming is besieging Luoyang, An Qingxu's troops are forcing the southeast, and the country of the Tang Dynasty is crumbling.

Under such circumstances, Guo Ziyi continued to write to the court, asking the court to add new troops and weapons and horses.

On April [-], the imperial court issued a decree to issue Qianyuan Chongbao,
