Zhang Xiu, the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Night.

Zhang Xiu's army and people were camped outside the city, sleeping deeply. In the city, the streets are deserted, only the cold wind howls by.

It's such a cold day, and it's a dark night, and no one will walk on the street.

Except for the assassins.

Dian Wei was dressed in black, with a black hood on his head. Holding a big sword that exuded a cold glow in his hand, he walked in the direction of the county government with dozens of strong men dressed in the same clothes.

After coming to the county office, Dian Wei showed his eyes. Dozens of subordinates understood, two of them squatted, and the two of them flew up on the shoulders of their companions, climbed over the wall, and landed in the county office.

After the two people who went in knocked out the gatehouse, they opened the gate of the county office. Dian Wei led the crowd to break in together.

So many people broke into the county government with great fanfare, and naturally it was quickly discovered. Dian Wei and the others didn't say a word, killed all the people who resisted, and went all the way to the bedroom of the county commander Zhou Yan.

"You are rangers, I have a chest of gold under my bed, you can take it. Don't kill me. Zhou Yan, who was oily during the day, looked frightened at the moment, her face was pale, and beside her was a trembling concubine. But he was still calm, and pointed to the bottom of the bed and said to Dian Wei.

"It's the ranger, but the one who asks for his life. Dian Wei sneered, stepped forward, and stabbed Zhou Yan with his sword.

The concubine screamed, her eyes turned white, and she passed out.

"Who the hell are you?" Zhou Yan lowered his head and looked at his chest like a gushing spring of blood, then looked up at Dian Wei, and muttered.

"I'm so cold. Zhou Yan immediately said this, and with a tilt of his head, he fainted, and lost his breath in a moment.

"Let's go.

After Dian Wei succeeded, he greeted him. A group of dozens of people left the county office and disappeared into the vast night.

No one in the county government dared to chase after the living people, and after a while, someone let out a terrible scream.

..........

Zhang Xiu Fuzhong.

Zhang Xiu, who slept during the day, was neatly dressed and sat in the study reading energetically. Until a terrible scream rang out in the air.

Then the houses in the house were lit up one after another. Not long after, Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai, who lived in the mansion, came in a hurry with a little disheveled.

The two of them couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they saw Zhang Xiu's neatly dressed clothes and calm face.

They were sleeping soundly, and suddenly they heard a terrible scream, and thought that they had encountered a rebellion. After

all, this was a vicious conspiracy, and Zhang Xiu did not tell his advisers.

At this moment, a personal soldier hurriedly walked in from outside, and reported: "Report to the general, an assassin has assassinated the county commander." "

How about life and death?" Zhang Xiu glanced at Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai, and then calmly asked the pro-soldier.

"Dead. The soldier replied in a deep voice.

Zhang Xiu's face sank, put down the pillar in his hand, and said angrily: "Who is so bold that he dares to assassinate the county order in the city?"

Ordered Pound to close the gates on all sides and send troops to guard the city walls. Send someone to inform the county officials and go to the county office. "

No. The soldier said yes and turned to go down.

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly, raised his head and said to the thoughtful Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai: "Since the two gentlemen are awake, go with me." "

No. Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu took a deep look at Zhang Xiu and bowed to promise.

They've been taught. This general, there is really no room for sand in his eyes, and he is very decisive in killing.

Then Zhang Xiu, Xi Zhicai, and Jia Xu put on a big hat together and came to the door. Dian Wei had already changed into a set of clothes and bowed respectfully to Zhang Xiu.

The sensitive Zhang Xiu smelled blood on him.

"Let's go. Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, and Xi Zhicai each turned over and got on their horses, and under the escort of Dian Wei and others, they went to the county office.

After coming to the county office, Zhang Xiu first went to see Zhou Yan's body out of humanitarianism, ordered the left and right to restrain himself, and not to disturb Zhou Yan's family, and then took Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai to the Houya Hall, and asked Dian Wei to lead the troops to stand at the door of the hall.

Soon after, the frightened county officials, including Wang Zhen, Qian Jun, and Song Shan, all came to the county hall.

Qian Jun and Song Shan naturally wouldn't have thought that this matter was actually done by Zhang Xiu, otherwise they wouldn't dare to come. But if they don't come, the city gate has been closed, and the city wall has been controlled, where can they flee to?

After Qian Jun and Song Shan entered the hall, they bowed their hands to Zhang Xiu, and then sat down. Still thinking in his heart, "Where did the strongman come from to kill the state and county commander?"

At this time, the assassination of officials by rangers often happens. So they mistake it for a ranger.

After all the officials in the county had arrived, Zhang Xiu's face sank and he said, "A strongman from somewhere actually assassinated the state and county commanders."

"The top priority now should be that someone comes forward to temporarily take over the position of county magistrate, take charge of the county's affairs, and track down the murderer.

"Mr. Wang. I thought you were highly respected and could temporarily take over the position of county magistrate. When Zhang Xiu said this, he glanced at Wang Zhen, who was stunned, and said with a pleasant face.

Without waiting for anyone to react, Zhang Xiu said again: "I heard that the county is rich and strong, and the second surname of Song is strong, and the clan is strong, and there are many lawlessness. Let's start with them. "

Dian Wei. Zhang Xiu shouted out the door again.

"The subordinates are here. Dian Wei walked in with his head held high, and bowed to Zhang Xiu with full of energy.

"Take down Qian Jun and Song Shan, and send troops to search for the adult males of the Qian family and the Song family in the city. also sent people to arrest outside the city, and be sure not to let the adult males of the Qian and Song Er families slip through the net.

Zhang Xiu sneered and said.

"No. Dian Wei said with a bang. Immediately, a team of soldiers rushed in and dragged out Qian Jun and Song Shan, who had no reaction at all. It wasn't until they went out of the door that the two reacted.

"Zhang Xiu. You were premeditated. You want to usurp our land.

"Zhang Xiu, you wolf, vicious.

Song Shan and Qian Jun scolded twice, and then their jaws were removed by the armor soldiers, and they couldn't make a sound.

Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and glanced around at everyone in the hall. Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai were already convinced that this matter was planned by Zhang Xiu, and their faces did not move.

The rest of the officials, including Wang Zhen, were in shock.

"Mr. Wang. This is the place you sit. I will ask Xi Zhicai, Jia Wen and the two gentlemen to help you investigate this matter together. And give you a team of armor soldiers.

Zhang Xiu smiled at Wang Zhen, then stood up, gave up the main seat, and walked out of the hall.

"I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first. "

General. It was only then that Wang Zhen reacted and stood up to chase. Jia Xu took the first step to hold his hand, and said with sharp eyes: "Mr. Wang, please also take charge of county affairs." Interrogate the surnames of Qian and Song, and track down the murderer of the state and county orders. "

No. Wang Zhen looked at Jia Xu with sharp eyes, and then thought about what happened tonight, and finally came to his senses, smiled bitterly, and said.

Although he also hated Zhou Yan and others, he was an upright person, and he couldn't accept Zhang Xiu's use of such thunderbolts.

But no matter what, it's a fresh start for Linwei County.

"Whew. Wang Zhen took a moment to accept this matter and exhaled, his eyes gradually became firm. and began to exercise his power, together with Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai, to investigate this matter.

The murderer, of course, is impossible to find. And the surnames Qian and Song are many illegal in the county, and there are a lot of black materials.

Under Jia Xu's planning, Wang Zhen was tried overnight. killed the two surnames Qian and Song, and the lawless people among the dozens of men.

and confiscated most of the fields and property under the two names. The house slaves and tenants under the two names were all reorganized into household registrations and returned to be good citizens.

One county was shocked, and then quickly spread throughout the remaining three counties. After hearing the news, the county commanders of the other three counties immediately gave the green light to Zhang Xiu's decision to settle the people's tuntian.

Those who occupied the land also gave generously and offered many fields, money, and domestic slaves.

Some of the heroes who do a lot of lawlessness on weekdays are afraid, so they simply cleaned up and ran away overnight with the softness.

With a killer like Zhang Xiu with a heavy soldier in his hands, there is really no way to stay in this place.

As a result, Zhang Xiu's Anmin Tuntian plan in the four counties was carried out smoothly. And the population roster of the four counties has tens of thousands more people. And there was much more money, grain, gold, and silver in the treasury.

In troubled times, the butcher knife in Zhang Xiu's hand is faster than the rest of the methods, and the return is high.

That's it for the time being. The rest of the selection of outstanding officials and the elimination of insects and pigs need to be rewarded by the official positions of the imperial court before they can be carried out.

The work of Tuntian Anmin was presided over by Xi Zhicai, and Jia Xu, Wang Zhen, and Wang Ding were responsible for assisting and carrying out all-round development.

Zhang Xiu's current focus is on expanding and repairing the city wall.

At that time, Zhang Xiu promised Zhou Yan that he would use the money to buy fields and expand the city wall. Now, of course, it's. The men with the second surname are almost dead, and the fields are all taken over by the public.

The

repair of the city wall also went very smoothly, and Pound was familiar with the art of war and knew how to build the city wall. He had 10,000 infantry troops under his command, plus 15,000 cavalry under Hu Che'er, and 20,000 or 30,000 strong soldiers, and it was not difficult to repair a big city.

The original old city wall of Linwei City was not demolished, but the new city wall was repaired first, and the old city wall was demolished after the new city wall was repaired.

The new Linwei City still stands against Weishui, and Weishui is not far away after the southern city gate goes out.

The overall structure of the city is rectangular, long from east to west, and short from north to south. The city is one and a half zhang high and three zhang wide. Rammed earth is the main structure.

rammed earth walls. It is the general structure of the city wall in this era, and if the rammed earth wall is done well, it can not fall down for a hundred years.

The construction of the city wall was divided into four parts, south, east and west, and the construction period was about three months.
