I, Liu Bian, Sanxing Han Dynasty

Chapter 103 News about Tian Feng

If the facts are as Xun Yu suspected, this also means that a tentative half-percent tax increase can actually lead to secret resistance from the two states.

This was somewhat beyond Liu Bian's expectation.

There are so many hidden houses in the area, don't the wealthy people in these places know how to compromise?

Or he is so short-sighted that he is blinded by his greed, and he does not hesitate to take advantage of the whole clan for a little benefit.

But in any case, the matter in Qingzhou is closer to Emperor Ling. Emperor Ling brought Zhu Jun with him on this trip, as well as ministers such as Cui Lie and Zhou Zhong after recovering from illness. It was not Liu Bian's turn to intervene in this matter.

As for Luoyang, after obtaining the permission from Emperor Ling, Xiyuan can send troops!

Jingzhou will tell Liu Bian the answer to the question.

South County.

When the news of Tian Feng's accident came, Zhuge Xuan, who was acting as governor, was the most panicked.

He is not a political idiot, and he still understands what it means when an envoy from the imperial court gets into trouble under his rule. Not to mention that he had lost all hope of becoming the real governor of Jingzhou. Once the court held him accountable, no one in the governor's office could escape.

After receiving the news, he immediately wrote to the court and rushed back to Jiangling to use his powers as governor to summon troops.

We must both suppress the rebellion and find Tian Feng. Just to alleviate the guilt a little bit.

The military officer of the governor's office was originally appointed by Wang Rui, and he was as good at talking as Wang Rui. Zhuge Xuan didn't believe in this person's ability to do things, so he simply used Deng Xi, who was in charge of governance, to lead the county soldiers subordinate to the governor first.

Deng Xi was also very angry.

Originally, everyone was from Jingzhou. Although the county was a more recognized place of origin compared to the state, but they were in the same state, so they usually turned a blind eye when inspecting on behalf of the governor's office. .

When encountering governors or governors with a "cruel" style, follow more rules. After all, you have to protect yourself first.

This is how everyone has been coming for so many years.

How could anyone even think about overturning the table?

Deng Xi knew very well that once Zhuge Xuan was convicted, he would not be spared.

Someone is trying to cut off his future, and he will never compromise!

After being given the mission by Zhuge Xuan, he led his troops and set off first to find Tian Feng. He wanted to see the people alive and the corpse after he died.

And most importantly, investigate the cause of the incident.

Accident? Who believes it!

After Deng Xi left, Zhuge Xuan still had to keep busy.

According to the military newspaper, the population of the barbarians who attacked Tian Feng and his party this time was not large, only one or two thousand people. Generally speaking, this small-scale rebellion can be solved by the county itself.

But the incident occurred between Jingling County, Jiangxia County and Huarong County, Nanjun County, involving both counties.

Moreover, the number of Jiangxia barbarians is already large, second only to Wuling County, and they are very united. Regardless of the fact that there are few rebels now, once the states and counties mobilize their troops, it will easily arouse the Jiangxia barbarians to rebel.

Zhuge Xuan is not as capable as Zhuge Liang in both civil and military affairs. As long as he is allowed to lead troops, he will dare to defeat the battle.

But compared to Wang Rui, he has one advantage: he won't look down on warriors.

Huang Zhong, who performed best during the Jingnan Rebellion last year, was transferred away. Zhuge Xuan had no choice but to settle for the second best and chose Huang Gai, who had just emerged later, to help him lead the army.

With the increase in the number of soldiers in Jiangxia, Nanjun, and Changsha counties, the originally peaceful Jiangxia barbarians united again under the leadership of the tribal leaders.

It had only been ten years since the last rebellion, and there were still many old people from each tribe who had participated in the rebellion and were full of experience.

The barbarians are experienced, and the Han people are not bad either. Except for the rebellion of Jiangxia barbarians and Lujiang bandits ten years ago, there was also the Wuling barbarian rebellion two years ago, which all reached outside Wuling County.

The two sides are at war with each other, and there are new and old grudges. Under pressure, I don’t know who shot the first arrow. The war between the Han people and the Jiangxia barbarians started again, and the whole Jiangxia became a mess.

Huang Gai did not betray Zhuge Xuan's trust. Although he could not win for a while, he did not suffer a loss.

The barbarians and the Han were at a logistical disadvantage in a confrontation, and it was only a matter of time before they lost.

However, the trigger point of this war was the junction of Jingling County and Huarong County where the Han and Barbarians initially clashed. The intensity of the war was much lower than elsewhere.

Even in some places, there is a somewhat harmonious scene of Han people and barbarians trading goods.

Deng Xi searched for news about Tian Feng here.

During this period, he also explored the powerful forces in the two counties, especially Huarong County, where Tian Feng passed through, focusing on Bei, which had the most private soldiers.

But he had no evidence, and he had never known that Huarong County Magistrate Zhao Cheng was so incompetent. Without Cao Beiyu, the entire county government seemed to be unable to function.

This made Deng Xi even more suspicious. When the chaos in Jiangxia really broke out, Zhuge Xuan also came here. Even if no evidence could be found, the two of them discussed it and took advantage of the situation to remove Bei Yu from his post and imprison him.

In this regard, despite the fact that Bei Yu was very arrogant in the county on weekdays, he was unable to resist at all when faced with a higher level of power.

Over the past few days, Deng Xi, with the help of local officials, had successively found the guards of the imperial envoy, but he could not find any survivors. These people had no armor on them.

The only thing that didn't make him lose hope was that he never found any trace of Tian Feng.

But until Taiwei Ma Rixi led the soldiers from Lujiang County all the way through Jiangxia County to this place, Deng Xi did not find any clues.

Lujiang County soldiers started a new round of search under the banner of Taiwei.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, Tian Feng took the initiative to show up with a few barbarians not long after the search.

When Ma Rixi heard the news, he met with Tian Feng immediately and asked about the cause and effect.

"Huarong Bei made armor privately." Tian Feng's face was calm, but his anger could not be concealed in his words.

Some of the guards who followed him all the way from Luoyang were still very young, and their children had just been born, but they died at the hands of villains because of his misjudgment.

Chen Zhuan, who was leading the guards, was supposed to have a bright future, but he was also killed.

Tian Feng felt guilty and blamed himself, but he understood that what he should do most now was to avenge them!

Tian Feng and his party accidentally discovered the private manufacture of armor.

They wanted to leave as soon as they discovered this, but it was already too late.

Bei Yu colluded with the barbarians in Jiangxia to attack Tian Feng and his party.

Tian Feng was not immune at first, but the barbarian leader who attacked him became greedy and thought that Tian Feng had rare goods and could use Tian Feng to ask for more money and food from Bei Yu, so he imprisoned Tian Feng.

But what happened next went beyond the barbarian leader's expectations.

Bei Yu obviously would not let his collusion with the barbarians be exposed. He had clan power and was very skilled at killing people and silencing them.

This gave Tian Feng an opportunity to rebel against the barbarians.

Tian Feng had been watching the search led by Deng Xi, but he did not trust Deng Xi and did not show up until Ma Rixi appeared.

Ma Rixi immediately asked about Bei's affairs, and learned that Bei's Bei Yu had been imprisoned by Deng Xi. This gave Zhuge Xuan and Deng Xi a good look for the first time.
