Chapter 802: Insect Base Camp

Liu She didn't expect Sun Xiang to be so capable and capable in fighting, and he also didn't expect the people under his command to be so useless, even the captain of a county soldier couldn't deal with it, so the Zhao Wangfu was surrounded.

Liu She was shocked and angry. After a period of panic, he stabilized his mind and wanted to find Zhao Guoxiang Fuqian to solve the problem, and asked Fuqian to give him an explanation.

He thought that Fuqian could solve Sun Xiang's problem, but Fuqian actually said that he did not have the power to command the commander of the military commander, and the commander's authority came from the imperial court, not from him.

Therefore, although Fu Qian was not too satisfied with Sun Xiang's "offensive act", he could not order Sun Xiang to lift the siege of Prince Zhao's mansion.

Of course Liu She couldn't accept such a statement, and was extremely annoyed by Sun Xiang's offensive behavior, so he sent people to try to break out of the encirclement and attack Sun Xiang's subordinates many times.

Of course, Sun Xiang was not a soft persimmon, he fought a defensive counterattack, and warned Liu She many times, telling him that he was Liu Bei's subordinate, not Liu She's subordinate, and if Liu She continued to do such things, he would be forced to fight back .

Liu She didn't believe that he dared to do something, so he provoked him many times. In the end, Sun Xiang really fought back against the bachelor, and even "blatantly" launched feint attacks on Zhao Wangfu many times, scaring Liu She and his relatives in Zhao Wangfu.

Liu She was very annoyed by this, and sent people out many times to insult and threaten Sun Xiang, saying that Sun Xiang had offended the clan and the royal family, wanted Liu Bei to kill him, wanted Sun Xiang's three clans to be exterminated, and his whole family to be killed. Kneeling in front of himself and licking his shoes begging for mercy.

However, Liu Amnesty's words could not shake Sun Xiang's will. Sun Xiang continued to maintain the siege of Zhao Wangfu, while resisting the attack of the rebels outside the city, with all his might, he persisted until Xu Huang arrived, and also persisted until the entire Zhao rebel army was wiped out. The tri-clan match of the master messengers behind the scenes.

Undoubtedly, Sun Xiang became the final winner. Xu Huang was very satisfied with Sun Xiang's persistence and planned to give him a big credit.

As for Fuqian's insignificant role in this matter, Xu Huang has nothing to say. Fuqian must have dereliction of duty, but he will not be dereliction of duty, so how to deal with him will have to wait for Liu Bei's decision.

As for Zhao Wang Liu Amnesty, Xu Huang felt that he had nothing to say.

According to his understanding of Liu Bei, the elimination of the three clans is a high probability event, and Zong Wang's participation in rebellion is a fatal thing in any dynasty. Although Zong Wang is usually honorable, it cannot involve imperial power. Once it is involved When he came to the imperial power, he would definitely be hit by the emperor's thunderbolt.

When Xu Huang arrived at King Zhao's Mansion, the National Army of Zhao State County was still maintaining a physical blockade of King Zhao's Mansion. These days, no one in King Zhao's Mansion was allowed to go out, only the people who were specially selected by Sun Xiang to deliver water, food and rice fields. They can go in and out, and they will be strictly searched when they go in and out, so as to ensure that no contact can be made between inside and outside the house.

Seeing such a blocked state, Xu Huang was very satisfied, and patted Sun Xiang on the shoulder to express his appreciation.

Afterwards, Xu Huang entered the Prince Zhao's Mansion, fully armed, with a helmet on his head, and with strong guards around him, entering the Prince Zhao's Mansion with a very strong posture, like a conqueror, not a courtier.

The servants of King Zhao's Mansion stepped forward to block them, Xu Huang stared at them, and these servants were beaten violently by the guards around them until they knew nothing about their personnel. Seeing this, the rest of the people turned pale and did not dare to take any action.

Zhao Wang Liu She was furious when he heard the news, and soon came to Xu Huang. Seeing Xu Huang commanding his subordinates to beat people in his house, and beating his servants into such a miserable state, he was very angry and pointed at Xu Huang. Akira cursed loudly.

"What is your identity? How dare you commit murder in my house?! I am the clan of the Han Dynasty! King Zhao! How dare you offend me like this, do you know what will happen if you offend me?"

Xu Huang glared at Liu She.

"I don't know the fate of offending King Zong, because this is the first time, but I know the fate of rebellion, because it is not the first traitor who died at my hands."

Liu She's face froze, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Nonsense! Talking nonsense! What rebellion? I am a clan relative of the great Han, and even the king, the most important clan! How could I rebel?!"

"The witnesses and the evidence are all there, what else do you have to argue?"

Xu Huang sneered and said: "The people who attacked the city gate were the people of your house. They used the special weapons of your house. They are all clear evidence. It is your responsibility to say that it is your fault! Your Majesty, although I am a subject , but for the rebels, everyone in the world can punish them! How can there be any direct difference between the king and the common people? They are all rebels!"

"Nonsense! I have never done such a thing! Someone did it behind my back! I am innocent! I want to see His Majesty the Emperor! I want to seek justice! This matter has nothing to do with me! You slandered me! I will make you pay!"

Liu She suppressed the fear in his heart and tried his best to refute Xu Huang's words, obviously unwilling to admit it.

Xu Huang could only sneer at this.

"It's useless to tell me. It is His Majesty who will judge you, not me. It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What matters is whether His Majesty believes it. Don't say anything else. After His Majesty learns about this, let's see if His Majesty is right." How to deal with it, but right now, Your Majesty, you are in trouble."

Xu Huang waved his hand, and the guards around him rushed forward, pinned Liu She to the ground and tied him up.

"Xu Huang! How dare you arrest me? How dare you offend me? I want to kill your three clans! Kill your three clans!!!"

Liu She was frightened and furious, yelling and cursing, resisting with all his strength, his family members, retainers and slaves were also frightened, and stepped forward to try to help him out of trouble.

Xu Huang was furious, drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed at the person who came and said angrily: "Go any further, don't blame me for being rude! King Zhao is suspected of treason, and so are you! Suspected of accomplice! Left and right! Take them all with me! Don't let any one go!"

"only!"

The guards around Xu Huang rushed out and captured Liu She's family members, retainers and servants. After a while, more than 300 people including Liu She's wives and concubines, children, relatives in the mansion, retainers, etc. were all arrested. They were all tied up by Wuhuada, and none of them were left behind.

Zhao Wang's mansion was wiped out by Xu Huang, there was not a single one left, and it ended cleanly.

Afterwards, Xu Huang ordered his officers to lead an elite army to escort these people to Luoyang quickly and hand them over to Liu Bei for interrogation.

After rectifying the chaos in Handan City by himself, he sent troops to recover Yiyang County, which was captured by the rebels, and then rectified the troops. He joined the Changshan Guojun and Zhao Guojun national soldiers who went south, and led an army of more than 3000 people. The men and horses made some corrections, then marched eastward and entered Julu County.

Julu County was the hardest-hit area of ​​the Yellow Turban Uprising that year. The local wealthy and landlord class were destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army in seven or eight times, and were repeatedly destroyed by the old Han army to suppress the rebellion. After the reconstruction after the disaster, Julu County has become a In a relatively clean and harmonious county, there are few internal conflicts and no disputes. Those who survived and those who migrated are working hard to cultivate the land and live well.

Therefore, since the development of Julu County, there is a lack of some powerful local families, but there are many collective farms, and the imperial government's decrees are very popular here.

The Imperial Court’s Dutian Order is scratching the itch for most people in Julu County. It will not hurt them, but will bring them some benefits. Therefore, Julu County is relatively stable as a whole, only in Pingxiang County. A rebel army appeared, numbering six to seven thousand, who were quickly wiped out by Xu Huang's cavalry.

The next highlight will be Ganling and Bohai County.

Ganling Kingdom and Bohai County were also the hardest-hit areas in the war when Yuan Shao and Liu Bei were fighting for the front. However, because most wealthy families were not optimistic about Yuan Shao at that time, they did not seek refuge with Yuan Shao and preserved their respective strengths. They were not liquidated after the war. It was with Liu Bei's stabilization of the place that they quickly restored their original status.

Therefore, after the power of most of the powerful clans fell silent for a while, they quickly recovered their original power. With the stability of the world over the years, their power has even developed considerably.

Moreover, Ganling Kingdom and Bohai County were assigned to the eunuch group and the conservative faction of the ancient literature school by Liu Bei after the war out of the need to win over them. Liu Bei did not interfere with these two places, and even the chief executive was not his own.

The chief administrators of these two prefectures were all members of the ancient literature school and the eunuch group at that time, including the entire southern part of Jizhou, most of which were within the sphere of influence of the ancient literature school and the eunuch group, so in various senses, these places can belong to the Insect base camp.

Since it is the base camp of insects, it is not surprising that piles of insects pop up at critical moments to embarrass Liu Bei.

When the Dutian Order was spread to these two places, it basically stabbed the insects in the two places immediately like a hornet's nest. Ganling Guoxiang Shi Yiguan and Bohai County Governor Cai Yong both belonged to the old-school officials. Lord, I don't want to hurt everyone's harmony, so the two went to the local noble families to discuss with each other to see if the matter can be resolved peacefully.

It has to be said that among the noble families of the two places, there are also sensible people. They clearly understand that if they resist, if they use troops, they will be suppressed by Liu Bei's troops. , and then the three clans were destroyed, the family was lost, and it ended in a tragic end.

When they were discussing internally, they raised this possibility, and believed that the only loss of accepting the Du Tian Order was the economic loss, and they might even get Liu Bei's political compensation for following them at the political level.

In other words, sending people south to Jiaozhou to open up a family branch is not something that cannot be considered.

However, if they refuse the Dutian Order, they will probably face ruthless political and military blows. They may not be able to survive it. Even if they survived it during Emperor Guangwu's time, they have paid quite heavy losses. , Many people died for this, only in exchange for Emperor Guangwu's compromise.

Now, they can still pay so much, can they still get Liu Bei's compromise?
Although the risk is huge, because there is too much land and the taxes are too heavy, the insects really can't bear such an ending, so most of the families still choose to refuse the land-duling order, and unite, raise troops to rebel, and use military force to directly attack Liu Bei. exert pressure.

Because the internal quarrel was too fierce, and some officials in the official family did not want to be enemies with Liu Bei, nor did they want to lose their official positions and prospects, let alone take risks, so after the fierce quarrel, they chose to leave the family.

Even at the risk of being expelled from their ancestral home, these officials must draw a clear line from the insects in the family, and some even risked a huge risk to inform the officials, asking the chief administrator to act quickly.

For example, Cai Yong received a tip-off from Meng Yuan, a county official of Bohai County and a member of the Meng family, and was shocked to inform Jiang Xian, the captain of the national soldiers of Bohai County, and was able to arrange Funan in Bohai County before the rebels took action. The defense of Pi County successfully saved Nanpi County when the rebels attacked, and also defeated some rebel organizations in the city that were trying to cooperate with the outside.

Cai Yong has not experienced war and he is still a little capable of handling government affairs, but when it comes to military affairs, he is really not good enough, and his military sensitivity is not good enough, so he almost missed the job.

Even so, he himself was getting old, but he faced the plight of tens of thousands of rebels besieging the city, and he did not flinch.

He put on his helmet and armor, went up to the city tower to deliver hot meals to the soldiers, beat the drums to cheer against the attack of the rebels, and even a few arrows passed by him did not break his courage, and he successfully demonstrated himself. The courage and responsibility of being the sheriff of a county boosted morale, and in a considerable sense contributed a lot to this defensive operation.

The situation in Ganling Kingdom is a bit worse.

Like the situation of Zhao State, Liu Zhong, King of Ganling, was also one of the kings who were deeply dissatisfied with Liu Bei's method of inheriting the throne and a series of policies. Because of the strong rebel force of Ganling State, everyone was willing to elect Liu Zhong as the leader, so Liu Zhong Zhong decided to join the rebellion and lead everyone against Liu Bei.

But at the beginning, Liu Zhong didn't want to reveal his identity, nor did he want to be regarded as a rebel so quickly, which would attract Liu Bei's army to attack, so he hid his own existence and wanted to wait for the situation to become clear before standing in front of the stage.

This decision confuses the power of the court in Ganling, especially when the Ganlin Prime Minister Shi Yiguan went to report the news, Liu Zhong fully agreed, saying that he would never be an enemy of the court, and made Shi Yi very happy, thinking that he would leave. With good luck, other county guards and state ministers must be envious of themselves to death.

When the rebels attacked Ganling County, Liu Zhong did not attack immediately, but wisely waited for a full seven days, and only when the defenders in the city were gradually exhausted under the siege of the rebels, did he choose to attack .

He sent a team of guards from the Fuzhong to form a team, attacked suddenly, and cooperated with the inside and the outside, which eventually led to the fall of Ganling County.

To say that it was also bad luck on the Ganling side, Wei Chang, the captain of the national soldiers of Ganling County, was seriously ill at the time. At the critical moment when the rebels were gathering to launch an attack, Wei Chang died of illness and failed to fulfill his responsibilities.

The successor's deputy, Wang Ke, took office in a hurry. There were too many things to deal with, and the defense arrangement was not firm. In addition, the rebels stormed for seven days, and the number of defenders in the city was not large, and the energy wasted. The team of dead soldiers succeeded in sneak attack.

After the Dongcheng Gate fell, the rebels swarmed in. Wang Ke tried to lead the personal guards to counterattack the Dongcheng Gate, but because of the large number of rebels, Wang Ke was unable to fight, so he had to abandon Ganling County and chose to break out and protect the city. Shi Yiguan moved to Ling County, trying to seek help from the south, and then counterattack Ganling.

But all of this happened so quickly that Xu Huang didn't know it when he led his troops north to Jizhou.

When Liu Zhong suddenly turned his back on the water, Xu Huang had already led his troops to fight in Wei County.

By the time Xu Huang knew about the Ganling incident, it was a done deal for Ganling.

Xu Huang was very annoyed, but he had no choice but to continue to lead his troops towards the direction of Ganling Kingdom, hoping that when he arrived in Ganling Kingdom, the situation would not become too bad.
