Tang Dynasty: Starting from Kou Zhong, the heavens rise!

The voice fell.

Boom!

It struck Xianggui's heart like thunder from the sky.

Why is the Baling Gang ranked second among the Eight Gangs and Ten Clubs? It is because the Baling Gang has three hundred gambling houses and two hundred brothels in the world. It has rich intelligence and can eat both black and white. But more importantly, they are engaged in trafficking. Disgraceful behavior of the population.

None of the girls from the brothels were girls from good families who were sold by the Baling Gang and forced to become prostitutes.

Among them, Xianggui, the former third leader of the Baling Gang, is the person in charge, and he also established this network.

"Your envy!"

Without even looking at Xianggui, Kou Zhong said casually: "Kill him!"

"promise!"

Without saying a word, Li Junxian infused the divine energy into the horizontal knife in his hand, and instantly struck Xianggui on the forehead.

Everyone watched helplessly as Xianggui was chopped in half from head to toe by the sharp sword energy. The ground was covered with blood and a mess. Everyone, including Xiao Huan, the slutty woman who had just made a pornographic comment to Kou Zhong, was trembling all over.

They just watched the leader Kou Zhong calmly ordered to kill two people, just like killing a chicken.

That was the second most important figure in Nanliang Kingdom, Xianggui, and the most important son of Xianggui.

"Jun Xian."

"Since we have to kill them all, then we will kill them all."

"Take people to Zhu Xiang's family and bring them all together, leaving no one behind!"

Kou Zhong waved his hand and said calmly.

"promise!"

Li Junxian walked out of the Liang Palace with an expressionless expression on his magic sword made of meteorite iron, with blood still flowing on the blade.

The three hundred Jin Yiti cavalry waiting outside immediately mounted their horses and galloped towards Xianggui's mansion.

'Too ruthless! '

The kings and ministers of Liang Kingdom in the palace only had this sentence in their minds.

No one dared to speak easily for fear of being reduced to Xiangyushan and Xianggui.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Kou Zhong, who was at the head, tapped the table with his index finger. The crisp sound seemed to hit everyone's hearts. Their hearts beat faster and faster. Everyone's face was abnormally red and pale, which showed how nervous they were.

"Xiao Mian, the great-grandson of Xiao Qi, Emperor Xuan of Western Liang, the grandson of Xiao Yan, King Zhonglie of Anping, and the son of Xiao Xuan, King Wenxian of Anping."

"When he was young, he was lonely and poor. He made a living by selling books and served his mother filially. When Yang Guang came to the throne, he was promoted to the magistrate of Luochuan County due to the kindness of his relatives."

"Luochuan was originally a lower county with a population of less than [-], but under your governance, it once reached the upper county, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"Since the fifth year of Daye, rebellions have been launched in various places, but the Xiangchu area has always been stable. That's because you, Xiao Mian, replaced the Sui army system in Xiangchu with the Baling Gang and recruited all those who wanted to rebel. He killed your Baling Gang and is now the Nanliang Kingdom."

"To the local people, you are indeed a good monarch, but I cannot tolerate the existence of Nanliang."

"I went south this time not only to deal with Nanliang, but also to incorporate Lingnan into the territory of Chu State."

Sentence after sentence falls.

Liang Wang Xiao Xian and even the Liang officials present had pale looks on their faces.

"I understand, I am willing to lead the entire Nanliang army to surrender to the Chu Kingdom."

Immediately, Xiao Mian made a decision and knelt on the ground.

"We are willing to surrender to the Chu Kingdom!"

Everyone present kneeled down and said.

It is a trend that everyone can see that Chu will dominate the world, not to mention that Kou Zhong is here. If you don't agree, you will die.

They care more about their own lives than surrender.

780

"Edict: Xiao Mian, a native of Liang, protects Xiangchu in troubled times, and is granted the title of Marquis of Xiang. He is given a mansion, a reward of ten thousand gold, and three thousand pieces of silk and satin."

"His younger sister Xiao Huan is smart and virtuous. She was specially granted the title of Mrs. Nanjun and was given a mansion by Mrs. Nanjun."

As Kou Zhong spoke, the attendant immediately recorded it on the yellow silk.

“…”

Xiao Mian was very satisfied with this treatment. As far as he knew, Li Mi and Zhai Rang were only two-character marquis. The fact that he could be granted the title of one-character marquis fully demonstrated his status.

On the contrary, the corners of Xiao Huan's mouth, Xiao Mian's younger sister, the slutty woman, kept twitching. Is she the only one who is smart and virtuous?The people around him wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh. They knew that Xiao Huan was a notoriously libertine.

"Edict: Ezhou is established from Jiangxia County, Nan County, Caiyang County, Baling County, and Liyang County. Niu Fengyi, the former governor of Jiangxia County, Wei Yuanjin Ezhou Governor of Jiangxia County, and Ezhou Lieutenant were awarded the title of Ronglu and took over the five counties of Ezhou on that day. .”

"Establish Xiangzhou with Wuling County, Changsha County, Hengshan County, Lingling County and Guiyang County, appoint Dong Jingzhen as the governor of Xiangzhou, Zhang Xiu as the Xiangzhou captain, Bao Rang, Qu Wuwei, Su Chuo, Xie Fengge, Zhu Zhong is appointed as the fifth-prefecture lieutenant, temporarily taking charge of the military and political affairs until the governors and magistrates of each county take office."

"Qianzhou was established from Yiling County, Qingjiang County, Qian'an County, Mingyang County, Yuanling County, and Zangke County, and Shen Liusheng was appointed as the Qianzhou Lieutenant. Chen Wu, Lei Shimeng, Zheng Wenxiu, Xu Xuanche, and Wan Zan , Xu Deji is a six-county lieutenant, temporarily serving as a military and political officer until the governor of Qianzhou, the governors of various counties, and the county magistrates take office."

"He Biao and Fengniang were transferred to the House of Internal Affairs as stewards of the House of Internal Affairs. They are responsible for managing two hundred gambling dens and four hundred brothels. They will go to Chang'an soon to resign!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

When everyone present heard this arrangement, their faces couldn't help but be happy.

They thought they couldn't get anything, and they were done with it. Who would have thought that they would be given official positions such as governor of a state, captain of a state, captain of a county, etc., which were equivalent to the officials of the feudal frontier. It was an unexpected surprise.

"One more thing to add."

"You can take away one-third of the gold and silver in your hands, but all the land must be handed over to the local governments."

"If there is a case of land occupation resulting in the death of people, I urge you to deal with it as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, the Jin Yiwei and the Inspectorate are not vegetarians. The laws of the Chu State are extremely strict, and no one can violate them lightly."

With eyes as bright as a torch, Kou Zhong said in a deep voice.

"promise!"

Everyone was shocked and remembered this.

"okay."

"Assign someone to clean this place, and then you can go and clean up on your own."

"Hanghou, Mrs. Nanjun, hurry up and the Jinyi Guards will be responsible for sending you to Chang'an."

After taking a deep look at Xiao Mian and his sister, Kou Zhong added.

"promise!"

Xiao Mian and Xiao Huan looked at each other, their hearts clear.

Immediately, the two people quickly took their family's belongings, gold and silver items with them, guarded them by the royal guards, and took a boat to Chang'an.

Chapter 122: Li Shimin’s decision, Chu State is beyond human power!

"Your Highness."

"The three handsome men have arrived."

Just as the attendant finished reporting, three wild figures walked in from outside the palace.

Perhaps because they had just cleaned up the corpse, the strong smell of blood filled the air and suddenly caught the smell of Wang Zhongxuan, Chen Zhifu, and Ouyang Qian. The three slang commanders couldn't help but frowned and felt a little panicked, but they still hurriedly saluted Kou Zhong. : "See Your Highness!"

"Free of courtesy! Flat body!"

Waving his hand, Kou Zhong said gently: "I wanted to meet you last time in Bashu."

"But the matter in Bashu was too urgent. I didn't have time to see you and others, so I went to Luoyang and Guanzhong."

"I'm going south to Jiangling this time. I have some things to do, so I asked someone to greet you in advance."

Geek!

Hearing this, the three slang commanders all looked shocked.

They remembered the last time Kou Zhong went from Bashu to Luoyang. Then, the Jing Nian Zen Sect was destroyed, and the Chu army captured Guanzhong and took control of Chang'an.

This time, Kou Zhong traveled thousands of miles south to meet the three of them in person. I'm afraid it's not a big deal.

"Three states have been established in the southwest, two states have been established in Xiangchu, and Qianzhou has also been established where you people are."

"What I want you to do is to move all the tribesmen out, and the government will be responsible for resettling them, dividing their fields, and distributing farm tools and cattle."

"As for your own things, they will still be yours after we come down from the mountain."

"Hundreds of thousands of people live in the mountains. I think their lives are not easy either."

"I know what you are worried about. After I come down from the mountain, I will allow each of you to recruit [-] troops."

"Beyond the southwest, the Pyu Kingdom has been destroyed, and the Chu army is still conquering Chenla, Champa, Duluobodi, Sri Buddha and other countries."

"I plan to set up the Tiannan Governor's Palace in Tiannan to govern the city-states of Tiannan and Dongshendu. I will set up the Chenla Governor's Palace and the Champa Governor's Palace in the original four kingdoms of Chenla to govern the various places. You three will be the governors and the governors of the military and government. , the [-] soldiers are your team. The State of Chu has specially allowed the governor-general to have [-] troops directly under its jurisdiction. The areas under the jurisdiction of each governor-general will establish prefectures and counties respectively according to the population, and then the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War will appoint local officials. "

Looking at the three handsome men, Kou Zhong directly stated his plan.

The land of the countries in the south is vast, with an area of ​​at least [-] miles, equivalent to the Central Plains plus Hebei, plus Guanzhong, plus Jianghuai.

There are many local indigenous races, but to be honest, in addition to Dongshendu, the Pyu people, Zhenla people, Champa people and Li people also have certain blood origins, and they are even very similar in eating habits and living habits. .

Although these places are beginning to become civilized, they are far away from the civilization level of the Central Plains and are almost the same as slang people.

The three major slang commanders are in charge of these places. Each has [-] slang soldiers who are armed to the teeth. They recruit [-] from the local area to make up for [-]. How can they not suppress these mere millions of people.

"promise!"

Seeing Koo Zhong's noncommittal look, the three sleuth commanders knew that refusal might lead to death, so they had no choice but to accept it.

After all, in the three counties, they are just the leaders of hundreds of thousands of people. The people all live in the mountains, and their lives are not to mention how difficult they are.

But if you go to Tiannan to be the governor, you will be able to govern millions of people, and you may even be able to live in a small royal palace, and your life will be wonderful.

Anyone with some intelligence knows how to choose!

"Ah."

"In that case, let's go and do it."

Kou Zhong waved his hand and ordered.

"promise!"

The three handsome men turned around and left the palace without any hesitation.

That month, the surrender of the counties in central Guizhou and the Kingdom of Nanliang allowed the Chu Kingdom to once possess all the counties in the entire south except Lingnan. The momentum surged and shocked both the north and the south!

.......

Far away in Mayi County, the Duke of Qin's Mansion in the Tang Dynasty.

Mayi County is located in the upper reaches of the Sangqian River, adjacent to the Mobei Grassland, Yanmen Pass in the south, surrounded by mountains on three sides, water on one side, and an impact plain in the middle.

This place, together with Yulin, Wuyuan, and Dingxiang, has always been the focus of the fighting with the Hu people in the north of Saibei. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was the Xiongnu, and later it was the Xianbei, Rouran and other tribes. Now it is facing the Eastern Han Dynasty with nearly 50 people who control strings. Turks are under great pressure.

In the early years of the Sui Dynasty, Shuozhou General Administration Office was abolished and changed into Mayi County, which governed the three counties of Shanyang, Kaiyang and Shenwu, with only more than [-] residents.

Since Li Shimin seized this place, he vigorously developed farming and used black armored cavalry to resist the Turkic cavalry and Liu Wuzhou's men in the north. Mayi once became the most prosperous place on the frontier, with a population of nearly [-] and many merchants.

Since the Li Clan raised its troops at the end of last year, brothers Li Shimin and Li Yuanba have fought in the north and south, seizing two-thirds of the existing territory of the Tang State. However, the older Li Yuan got, the more he thought about it, especially when he showed his ferocious behavior in the Chu State. After that, I just wanted to settle down in a corner and had no ambition to make progress.

In order to stabilize the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan even gave Li Shimin the title of General Tiance and took charge of the three counties of Yanmen. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji led the army alone to fight in the prosperous Hebei Province, fighting with Dou Jiande, and their prestige increased.

The situation of internal and external troubles made Li Shimin fall into distress, and he was thinking about how to break the situation every day.

"Second brother, who do you think is coming~?"

Li Yuanba, who had always been straightforward, suddenly burst into the main hall of Tang Guogong's mansion happily, which made Li Shimin a little confused.

But the figure who then stepped into the main hall made Li Shimin unable to bear it any longer, and stood up with an excited expression: "Third Sister!"

The person who came was none other than Li Xiuning. Hongfu was married to Li Jing, and she was left alone to travel north from Chang'an. Fortunately, the journey was safe and smooth.

"Second brother!"

"long time no see!"
