Great Han Empire

Chapter 273 The situation changes suddenly
Yan Liang walked back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, his thick eyebrows tightly locked together.

Machete stood aside, staring at Yan Liang's tall and burly back, and said eagerly: "My lord, I'm sure that horse dealer is the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, otherwise, Panta will listen to him?"

Yan Liang looked up at him and said: "This man is very courageous, he dared to hide in the military market, I admire him, he is amazing."

"Catch him immediately?" Machete asked.

Yan Liang shook his hand and said with a smile: "Don't touch him. Wang Fen hasn't jumped out to deal with us yet. If we arrest him at this time, we will not only startle the snake, but also cause trouble."

"However, we only have 1000 people. Once the Yellow Turbans attack first, we will be very passive." Machete said anxiously, "Kill this man, and the Yellow Turbans will have no leader. Maybe we still have a chance of winning."

"What are you in a hurry for? How come we have no chance of winning?" Yan Hao said with a leisurely smile, "If Wang Fen had no reason, how dare he kill us casually? Have you forgotten what your lord said before he left? Your lord wants us to kill Wang Fen." Fen forced the dog to jump over the wall, but now it seems that Wang Fen doesn't want us to force him anymore, he is already ready to kill us. Well, then let's see who wins in the end?"

"My lord means..."

"According to the adult's instructions." Yan Liang walked to the machete while talking, patted his bald head, and said with a smile: "You boy, you have been spoiled by the adults, and you don't come home at night?"

The machete immediately put on a smiling face, and said in a low voice: "Brother Tiger Head, don't be an example, don't be an example, this time at least I have made a meritorious service, should the merits and demerits be offset?"

Yan Liang waved his hand and gave him a pat on the head again, and said with wide eyes: "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, if you have done something wrong, you will be punished. If you don't make mistakes, you will not be an example. Remember this time, and you will count it later."

The machete thanked him again and again, and he asked with a smile: "Brother Tiger Head, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on him so that he doesn't run away?"

"Don't send anyone." Yan Liang said, "Just go to the military market every day to find out about the situation."

"Is that okay?" Machete looked at Yan Liang worriedly, and asked, "Do you want to go at night?"

Yan Liang chuckled, slapped him hard on the head, and threatened: "If you have the guts, go at night."

The machete quickly shrank his head, and said with a strange smile: "How could I be so courageous? I respect your lord's order."

Yan Liang ignored him, stretched out his hand to stroke his black beard, and ordered in a low voice: "Send someone to deliver this news overnight to your lord."

=====================

In the morning, Lin Xun, Pan Ta and other military marquises entered the big tent one after another, and reported to Yan Liang that the soldiers had been complaining a lot these days, their training was not active, and they clamored for military pay. Incidents such as "screaming camp" and other events that seriously disrupted the order of the camp occurred.

Yan Liang was very upset, and he said to Zhang Xiao: "Bochou, go to the city again and ask the governor, when will the military salary be paid?"

Zhang Xiao shook his head angrily and said: "Which day will I not go to the state capital to ask for money? I go every day these days, but the governor won't give it to me. Yesterday, he even scolded me, saying that I only have money in my eyes, like He follows him every day like a debt collector. Mr. Xu Youxu also said that we are not greedy enough. He said that it is good enough to eat and drink for us. It is too shameful to ask for money. He told us to look around. The refugees who beg and sleep on the street say that many people are not only suffering from hunger and cold, but even their lives are dying, compared with that, we are already very rich."

Panta was furious when he heard the words, he jumped up against the case, and cursed loudly: "Are we refugees? I'm going to kill the wolf-hearted thing."

Liao Lei also said angrily: "The money must have been distributed to them again, these people who are ungrateful for profit."

Everyone swears at each other and scolds into a ball, wishing to take the guy and kill him into the city.At this time Wen Chou stood up.He is handsome, generous and loyal, and he has been getting along well with these people recently. He said: "Your Majesty is going to Jizhou soon, I think it's better not to make things big so as not to get out of control in the future. Bochou , you should go to remind me again."

In the morning, Zhang Xiao was ordered to go to the city to demand the army's salary.In the afternoon, Zhang Xiao came back, he was carried back by several followers.He yelled and yelled at the official in the state capital, but was beaten twenty times by the governor Wang Fen.

Immediately, this incident spread throughout the military camp, causing an uproar. The soldiers in the camp were enraged, and they clamored aggressively to take revenge.Yan Liang was taken aback, and quickly ordered the gate to be closed to prevent people from entering or leaving.

Lin Xun led everyone into the big tent and scolded Yan Liang: "My lord, you are the famous Yan Hutou in Jizhou. In the past, you were an indomitable and happy person. How come you have become a shrinking turtle today..."

Yan Liang had no expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard it, he looked up at the sky without saying a word.

What happened next was unbearable.The military rations in the camp were exhausted, and the state government stopped allocating them, as if they wanted to starve everyone to death.The soldiers finally broke out, and everyone gathered outside the big tent, shouting deafeningly.

"My lord, if you don't deal with it, something big will happen." Lin Xun said, "Your lord, you need to act decisively."

Yan Liang sneered, and said, "Zijun and Bochou stay in the camp, and the others follow me into the city." Pointing to the machete, he said, "Take 100 people and set off immediately."

There was a cheer in the big tent.

Yan Liang was blocked by the guards of the government office and refused to let him in.Without further ado, Liao Lei rushed up and kicked one of them down. The two sides immediately clashed, and the more than 20 guards guarding the gate of the government office were immediately coaxed by Lin Xun, Pan Ta, Ding Bo, a machete and a group of soldiers. Helped the black panther Yicong to run away with his head in his arms, crying for his father and mother.

With his hands behind his back, Yan Liang strode into the mansion, shouting loudly, "Where is Wang Fen?"

A few government bureaucrats walked over tremblingly, saluted, and said stammeringly: "Go back to the captain, the governor is not in the government."

"Where's Xu You?" Yan Liang asked murderously with a gloomy face.

"He is with Lord Inspector and left the city today."

Yan Liang glared angrily at the several officials who were kneeling on the ground, and suddenly yelled, "Smash me..."

=====================

After receiving the report, Wang Fen smiled and said to Xu You: "Okay, now there is a reason to kill them."

"These savages have no brains at all, and they are still showing off their power when they are about to die." Xu You said with a smile, "My lord, when will the document presented to His Majesty be delivered?"

"Immediately send it to Luoyang at a fast speed of eight hundred miles." Wang Fen said, "We only said that Yan Liang conspired with the ant thief to rebel, and Li Hong was not involved. His Majesty will definitely order Yan Liang to be killed when he is furious. This You bastard, how dare you smash my government office, it's lawless."

"My lord, the matter of Xindu..."

"You send someone to inform Yuan Shu that the time is ripe for him to act." Wang Fen said with a smile, "We sent Yuan Gonggong a lot of money, now it's his turn to do the work."

"My lord, when are we going to do it?" Cao Hanfang asked cautiously, "Yan Liang has a lot of good fighters under his command, and it will take a lot of effort to get rid of them completely."

"Has everything been arranged over there?" Wang Fen asked, "How many people came from northern Xinjiang?"

"My lord, please rest assured that everything has been properly arranged and absolutely foolproof." Han Fang replied respectfully, "More than 200 people have come from Northern Xinjiang, and the people from Dazhitang have also gathered one after another. Now the gang from Montenegro have not yet entered. the city."

Wang Fen frowned, and said to Xu You: "Go and tell Ku Chief that the person who told him must enter the city tomorrow."

"Shall we do it tomorrow?" Xu You asked, "My lord, should we wait for another two days, when the messenger arrives in Xindu City, and then we..."

"No, do it now, lest you have long nights and dreams." Wang Fen said resolutely, "There are two thousand black panthers in the camp of Xiangyu Mountain. If they are not dealt with, I will have trouble sleeping and eating." He paused for a while, and then said , "There is always a delay in giving food. Once the soldiers in the camp make trouble, the problem will be complicated."

"Alright then." Xu You smiled, "Then I'll go to Daying tomorrow and ask Yan Liang to come in person."

======================
Before Li Hong arrived in Xindu City, he ran into Chen Ming who hurried back from Hejian Kingdom.

"Zichan, you've had a hard time on the road, are you all okay?" Li Hong asked with concern.

Before Chen Ming could answer, Li Wei asked impatiently: "Zichan, how is the matter in Hejian Kingdom? Has the ancestral temple been repaired? Where is the palace?"

"Zhongyuan, let Zichan rest first, why are you in such a hurry?" Li Hong laughed.

"Of course I'm in a hurry." Li Wei frowned and said, "We have a thousand brothers in the Xiangyu Mountain camp, so I can't be in a hurry. Zichan, tell me quickly, how is the matter in Hejian Kingdom? If Wang Fen doesn't If he doesn’t work or is passive, we can go back and catch him immediately.”

"Just as Zhong Yuan said." Chen Ming laughed, "They are too courageous. Your Majesty is about to leave Luoyang. They don't even have the beams of the palace. At this speed, they won't be able to finish it even this summer." work."

Li Hong nodded, and exchanged glances with Li Wei and Xie Ming.

"Do it now, or enter Xindu City?" Li Hong asked, "Wang Fen didn't even make a show of doing anything about the Hejian Kingdom, which means he's already prepared."

"It's a preparation to kill us." Xie Ming said, "Now it seems that Yan Liang is very dangerous in the Xiangyu Mountain Camp. In my opinion, we should not enter Xindu City, and turn back immediately. The evidence now is enough."

"My lord is too courageous to take this kind of risk. Once Wang Fen gets the upper hand, we will be passive." Li Wei complained, "Don't worry about Yan Liang, we'd better win Changshuiying first, otherwise, say It's all useless."

Li Hong nodded solemnly, and said: "Yan Liang acts steadily, and Wen Chou is bold and careful. As long as the two of them hold their breath, there shouldn't be any danger. On the contrary, if we are a little careless, the entire army may be wiped out." I think, to be on the safe side, let's go to the city."

======================
Yuan Shu saw Zhou Jing approaching from afar, and said to He Feng with a smile, "It's terrible, the debt collector is here."
