Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 49 Undercurrent
"Brother Yang, you must save my younger brother..."

Fu Chengyang held Concubine Yu in his arms, and patted her back with his palm, his expression was calm, he was no longer the usual eunuch, but like a real man.

"You knew already?"

"Why don't you know... Brother Kuo grew up with me, and now he is caught by that vile beast Su Yuan... Brother Yang, you must save him..."

Concubine Yu Gui couldn't cry, which shows that she has a deep relationship with Gongsun Kuo and her brother.

Fu Chengyang said lightly: "I will do my best in this matter, but don't hold out too much hope."

"how……"

"That Su Yuan is ruthless, and has already set up an army to rebel, completely tearing up his face. If so, why should he be afraid to kill a Gongsun Kuo, why should he be afraid to offend your Gongsun's family."

Concubine Yugui felt short of breath when she heard this, and was about to faint.

At this time, Fu Chengyang injected an internal force into Concubine Yugui's body to help her regulate her blood energy.

"Okay, don't worry, I will arrange this matter."

"Then it's all up to you, Brother Yang..."

Concubine Yugui knew that it would be useless to say more, but would cause Fu Chengyang's dissatisfaction, so she didn't stop talking.

Fu Chengyang asked: "How is Zhou Hongjue's health recently?"

Zhou Hongjue is no one else, he is the real name of the current Emperor Qingxiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Fu Chengyang directly called him by his first name, which was a capital crime, but seeing his indifferent expression, he seemed to be accustomed to it.

Concubine Yugui whispered: "He is in very poor health, recently...he can't even have sex."

"In other words, if he knew about Su Yuan's rebellion, and knew that the Northern Xinjiang Camp had fallen into his hands, Zhou Hongjue would probably be so angry that he would not be able to afford serious illness."

"It should be..." Concubine Yugui heard the words, a look of excitement and anticipation flashed in her eyes, "Brother Yang, are you going to..."

"Don't worry, it will be his birthday banquet in a few days, and we will tell him the news when he is the happiest." Fu Chengyang sneered, "Great joy and great sorrow, this will be the best effect."

"..."

After a while, Concubine Yu left, and the smile on Fu Chengyang's face disappeared without a trace.

He secretly said in his heart: "Su Yuan can win the northern camp, I'm afraid that trash Xu Yichuan can't stop him."

"If the whole Mozhou falls into the hands of Su Yuan, it will really make him a climate, that will be a trouble... This is not possible."

Fu Chengyang thought for a moment, got up and left the palace.

He came to a mansion in the west part of the capital. A young man saw him and hurriedly greeted him.

"Father, you are here."

"En." Fu Chengyang said to the young man, "Has San Jia come back?"

"Reporting to foster father, Jiasan is still on the way, and it will probably take three or four days to return."

"Who is in the capital in the character A?"

"Report to foster father, Jiawu is here."

"A fifth..." Fu Chengyang nodded slightly, "Just A fifth."

The young man asked: "Father, what do you want Jia Wu to do?"

"Murder." Fu Chengyang said lightly, "Let Jiawu go to Beifeng City and bring back Su Yuan's head."

"Yes, foster father."

……

North Wind City.

The reform officially begins today.

As soon as the tax reform clauses came out, the whole city cheered. The common people stood at the base of the wall, listening to the literate people reading the posted new tax law, and the smiles on their faces bloomed like flowers.

"It's great now, our family doesn't have to pay the land tax!"

"The little prince is really the reincarnation of a god! He came down to save us common people."

"Long live the little prince!!!"

"A great thing, a really great thing!"

The common people are very simple and practical, and Su Yuan protects their vital interests, so they will naturally think of Su Yuan well.

Moreover, after the previous turmoil caused by the five major families, after a group of people were arrested and entered, the rest did not openly oppose Su Yuan's rebellion.

Especially after Su Yuan took control of the northern camp, the attitudes of the few educated people also changed.

Before, these "intellectuals" thought that Su Yuan would be wiped out in a short time, but now their thinking has changed, and they think that Su Yuan can persist for at least a few years.

If you can take down the camp in northern Xinjiang, you will have a chance to take down Mozhou.

Once Mozhou is conquered, it will not be a problem to deal with Dazhou for several years by virtue of Mozhou's own steep pass.

Thinking of this festival, some people with active minds also tried to find opportunities to see if they could join the Zhenbei Palace and become a member of the staff.

Su Yuan really wants to recruit talents, but the premise is that the talents are not idlers or speculators who are greedy for wealth.

It is true that some talents do not show themselves at the beginning, usually eat and drink, and only show their effect at critical moments... such as Mao Sui, such as Feng Xuan.

But Su Yuan didn't particularly need this.

Rather than expecting this to happen, he might as well wait for his own summoning, maybe he will summon a talent anytime.

In addition, in response to the more than 4 northern troops who were disarmed and returned to the fields, Su Yuan also arranged for people to divide the cultivated land for them.

Before, he asked some summoned soldiers to plow the fields, and now those fields are allocated to these retired Zhenbei Army.In this way, they can have land, and the summoned soldiers can also be liberated, all of which are used for combat operations.

As for some people who are not good at farming, Su Yuan also has work arrangements for them.

Infrastructure!

He was a Chinese before crossing, and he is very familiar with infrastructure.It can be said that infrastructure construction has brought convenience to the people on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has also provided employment to some people who have no jobs.

Many people were a little scared when they first heard that Su Yuan was going to build a school and pave the road.But when he heard that Su Yuan would give money, he was very surprised.

This is because in Dazhou, there is usually no money for this kind of infrastructure construction, and some people will be forced to do it, which is the "corvet" that was very common in ancient times.

For the common people who came to do corvee labor, it is good to have enough food to eat, and the wages are purely delusion.

But here in Suyuan, it is different, food is not in charge of food, but also wages, which also makes many people scramble to sign up.

Of course, not everyone who does this work has money... For example, criminals do it for nothing and don't get paid.

For infrastructure construction, Su Yuan not only let the common people do it, but also pulled the prisoners out of the prison and let them do it together.If you commit a crime and lie in prison all day, you will be fine?No such good thing, all come out to work for me!
Thus, a mighty renovation took place in Beifeng City.

At this point, in the evening, Shen Lian came to Su Yuan to report with a stack of statements.

"My lord, these are the statements of the patriarchs of the five major families, as well as Gongsun Kuo and his generals."

"Have they all been interrogated?"

Su Yuan took it and checked them one by one.

"Yes." Shen Lian said.

The confessions of the five patriarchs were similar, among which Zhang Yuandong had the most. During this period of time, he was writing letters everywhere.Write to Gongsun Kuo, to the Yunshan faction, to the Zhongyuan family, to Xu Yichuan, the shepherd of Mozhou Prefecture, to Fu Chengyang, who is nine thousand years old... you are simply a master of letter writing.

The content is similar, they all talk about Su Yuan, or request to join hands to destroy Su Yuan.

Su Yuan already knew this part, and there was nothing to see.

What really made his face somber was the statements of Gongsun Kuo and his generals.

Under Jin Yiwei's torture, they all recruited, including the truth about Su Tufeng's death in battle.

Previously, Su Tufeng's official cause of death was that he "led the troops into the army, fell into the trap of the Beirong army, and died in the chaos."

But what Gongsun Kuo and the others confessed was that Su Tufeng knew that there was a trap in the Beirong, and he wanted to use his own tricks as a bait to lure the army of the Beirong. swallow.

If this plan is successful, Bei Rong will lose a whole generation of young soldiers, and will not be able to invade Da Zhou again within 30 years.

As a result, halfway through the plan, after Su Tufeng led the Beirong army, Gongsun Kuo chose to stand still and did not counter the encirclement, resulting in Su Tufeng being isolated and helpless, and died in battle.

In order to keep it secret afterwards, Gongsun Kuo also killed several capable generals of Su Tufeng, and used Wang Dan and other generals who were close to him to quell the turmoil in the army.

After reading these confessions, Su Yuan's expression turned cold.

Shen Lian asked: "My lord, how to deal with them?"

"Five patriarchs, beheaded for public display. Gongsun Kuo, execute Ling Chi!"
