Fu Song

Chapter 313 Shocking News
Luodian ghost country, Guanling.

Surrounded by a group of soldiers, Xiao Cheng looked at the last thousands of subordinates of Luo Dian Gui Kingdom who were preparing for the final struggle.

Since September, Xiao Cheng has mobilized the coalition forces of various ministries in Qianzhou with the Tianwu Army as the core, and launched a war against the Luo Dian ghost country.

The reason is simple. A caravan from the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce encountered an accident after entering the Luo Dian ghost country.

Puju, the son of Pugui, the leader of Luodian Ghost Kingdom, robbed the goods and killed everyone in the caravan.

An incident that seemed ordinary to everyone in the Luodian ghost country has led to the catastrophe of the current Luodian ghost country.

The Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce issued a warning to Luodian Guiguo, asking Pugui to hand over the murderer and compensate for the loss.In Pugui's view, this is simply a joke. A mere businessman organization dares to threaten him.Annoyed, Pugui even ordered that in the entire Luo Dian Ghost Country, as long as caravans and businessmen belonging to this Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce were found, Wuhe would be killed immediately.

After this order was issued, the war immediately fell on the people of Luo Dian Gui Kingdom.

It wasn't until this time that the Luo Dian Ghost Kingdom discovered that the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce, which they regarded as worthless, actually had a fully armed army of thousands of people. The equipment possessed by the other party far surpassed that of Luo Dian Ghost. level of the national army.

As for fighting skills, the two sides are not even on the same level.

In fact, Luo Dian Ghost Kingdom does not have a professional army.Except for a guard of more than a thousand people under the king's command, the others are farmers, hunters, etc., who are temporarily recruited when the war comes.

And their opponent is a professional army commanded by professional soldiers.

The Luo Dian Gui Kingdom attached to Dali appealed to Dali for help, and at the same time recruited citizens to stand up to resist.

However, due to the huge gap in combat power, Luo Dian Gui Kingdom was defeated again and again, retreating again and again, and finally in Guanling, everyone, including the king, was surrounded.

Ten days ago, the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce rejected Luodian Guiguo's request for negotiation. At this time, the other party was willing to compensate the caravan for ten times the loss.

A day ago, the federation once again rejected Luo Dian ghost country's willingness to surrender and hand over Puji, as long as the other party guaranteed the survival of Luo Dian ghost country.

The Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce is making it clear that it is going to destroy the inheritance of Luo Dian ghost country.

This forced Pugui to fight.

"Sign the verdict, Pu Ju has fled to Dali, according to your instructions, we let him go." Sun Jing, who had just arrived, walked to Xiao Cheng's side, and said.

Sun Jing, a doctor with excellent medical skills who was once well-known throughout southern Guizhou, now not only directly manages Xunzhou, but is also a heavyweight in the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce.The reputation he has accumulated through years of practicing medicine has also made it easier for the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce to gain the trust of ordinary people in this land.

Sun Jing's age was more than twice that of Xiao Cheng's, but in front of Xiao Cheng, from the very beginning, Sun Jing was respectful.This is not because of Xiao Cheng's official position, but the longer he has been in contact with Xiao Cheng, the more Sun Qing admires and respects him.

Sun Jing has never seen a person like Xiao Cheng who can make such far-reaching plans, and when he does things, one loop is within another loop, and one bureau hides another bureau.In the end, he got all the goals he wanted to win, one by one.

Just like now, Pu Ju could not escape, but Xiao Cheng gave him a way out.

Hearing Sun Jing's words, Xiao Cheng nodded: "The only value of this person now is to be an excuse for us to enter Dali in the future. Dali is a good place. Pu Ju escaped there. This is a good opportunity. We can Ask them for the culprit who killed my Dasong businessman, if Dali refuses to give it, then we will have to fight against each other."

"What if Dali gave us this person?" Sun Jing asked back.

"Dali is also a country of ten thousand chariots, so we still need to save some face!" Xiao Cheng laughed: "And the Luo Dian ghost country has always been attached to them, and they are their subjects. If the Duan family and the Gao family are really generals If it was returned to us, how could he have the face to rule Dali?"

"Sign the judgment, you also said that Dali is a country of ten thousand chariots, can we defeat them with our current strength?" Sun Jing was a little worried.

Xiao Cheng smiled slightly: "What do you think?"

Sun Jing fell silent.

Of course he knew that the current strength of the Chamber of Commerce was just a habit, which made him a little bit lacking in confidence.

"Sign the verdict, Pu Ju was planning to flee to the Luo family's ghost country at first, and you forced him to flee to Dali because the Luo family's ghost country handed over this person to us?" asked again.

"The ghost country of the Luo family is attached to the Song Dynasty, and the ghost country of the Luodian is attached to Dali. Although the ancestors of the two families have the same origin, they have parted ways in recent years. Letting him escape there is of no value to us." Xiao Xiao When Cheng was about to say something, the drums of war rang out in front of him. He stopped talking and looked up at the battlefield.

The army under the command of Yang Wanfu launched the final charge.

Facing the torrent of steel from the Tianwu Army, the army of the Luo Dian Ghost Kingdom melted into water in an instant like snow in winter meeting the scorching sun in June.

"There's nothing to see!" Xiao Cheng turned the horse's head, "Now we have to think about how to accept the hearts of the people here. This is much more difficult than fighting. After all, Luo Diangui has established the country for some years."

"The Luodian Ghost Country has the violent tribe as the core ethnic group. After this battle, the violent tribe will definitely be devastated." Sun Jing thought for a while and said, "We can support other tribes, especially those who have been oppressed by the violent tribe for many years. The small tribes are in power, and these small tribes themselves have many contradictions, and it is difficult to unite. If they want to secure the interests they have obtained, they must rely on us. In this way, we do not need too many troops to maintain a basic Stable. Next, according to the set of land-to-household distribution, land-based tax payment, encouragement of farming, mulberry and cargo breeding, reduction of corvee and other policies set by you in the contract, it will take at most three to five years, and you will be able to reap all of them. Heart."

Xiao Cheng smiled, "Why don't you come here? Xunzhou is basically on the right track now. If anyone goes there, he only needs Xiao Gui and Cao to follow, and he will naturally be able to go smoothly. No matter the size of the territory of Luo Dian Ghost Country , or the population, far exceeds that of Xunzhou, and his position is also extremely critical. In the next few years, we will plan Dali, and even annex the Luo family's ghost country, and he will play an extremely important role. It takes a very capable person to do it."

Sun Jing couldn't help being a little tempted.

Speaking of which, Xunzhou has now become a comfort zone, where government affairs can be sorted out without too much effort.But just as Xiao Cheng said just now, things that can be done by any one person, it doesn't show that his Sun Jing's ability can overwhelm others.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the development of the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce as a rapid pace. Its terrifying wealth-raising ability and extremely high mobilization ability made Sun Jing see a completely different way of governing the local economy and developing it.And the characters in this business federation are no small matter.

It is said to be the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce, but in fact it also includes many famous figures in the south. Those people said that they only invested in it, and they only paid dividends and didn't care about it, but it was really necessary to glue these people together. The energy that can be erupted in time is really unimaginable.

"Sign the judge, I don't know martial arts, if I come here, I don't know who will come here?" Sun Jing asked carefully.

"What do you think of Wei Wu?" Xiao Cheng asked. "I'm going to separate Wei Wu from the Tianwu Army and set up another division."

As soon as Wei Wu came to Qianzhou, he became a legendary figure.

This person has no feet, but his iron feet not only walk without hindrance, but also take advantage of jumping, climbing, and even fighting. This person is Xiao Zhuan's confidant, and I heard that he was injured in a battle with his elder brother Afterwards, he went to the Xiao Mansion to work as a guardian. If he could work with such a person, he would be able to have a closer relationship with the judge.

Of course, he had known Wei Wu for a long time, and Sun Jing also felt that this person was easier to deal with than Yang Wanfu.

Yang Wanfu's official air is even heavier.

Wei Wu is closer to ordinary people.

In comparison, Sun Jing likes Wei Wu more.

"Since signing is important, then Sun is willing to give it a try!" Sun Jing cupped his hands.

The final battle was lackluster.

Yang Wanfu led the central army, Wei Wu led the left army, and Fan Yifei led the right army, destroying Pugui's last resistance with a destructive momentum. The pro-army with thousands of people has lost more than half in the previous battles, and the remaining half was completely ruined in today's battle.As for the other tribal fighters gathered by Pugui, they either fled or surrendered shortly after the battle broke out.

Those who can't be killed, of course they can't be killed.

This is Xiao Cheng's request to soldiers like Yang Wanfu.

In Xiao Cheng's view, there is no shortage of resources or land in the entire Qianzhou, but Dingkou is what is lacking.Sometimes you walk where you don't see anyone for days, how much development can you expect?

So even a general like Yang Wanfu, who is more aggressive, has restrained his temper now.

Of course, Xiao Cheng will never be soft on those who should be killed.

When it was dark, Yang Wanfu returned to the station with a bloody smell all over his body. The heads of Pugui and the core members of the violent tribe had already been chopped off, and they were randomly piled on the car and brought back.These heads will be hung up for public display in order to deter those who still want to cling to the wall and resist.

The three-month war has now come to an end.

Yang Wanfu is relaxed now, and the soldiers who have returned to the camp are also very happy, and they can finally go home.

After this battle, the casualties of the army were not large, but the harvest was a lot, and the rewards were naturally indispensable.Although the military salary offered by the Qianzhou Chamber of Commerce is quite high, no one thinks it's too much money!
Yang Wanfu, who was going to report the details of this battle to Xiao Cheng, walked outside the room where Xiao Cheng lived temporarily, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right.

The door was closed tightly, and the lights in the room reflected Xiao Cheng's silhouette sitting alone at the table.

It's like a sculpture.

Everyone who had been following Xiao Cheng, including Sun Jing, stood outside the house.

"What happened?" Yang Wanfu walked over lightly, pulled Sun Jing past him, and asked in a low voice.

Sun Jing glanced at the other party, lowered his voice and said, "The courier sent an urgent report just now, the father who signed the sentence is gone!"

Yang Wanfu was stunned for a moment.Sun Jing didn't have any idea about Xiao Yu, but he, Yang Wanfu, knew it well.Xiao Yu is not very old, and because of martial arts, Xiao Yu's health has always been very good.

"Why is it gone?" he asked.

"Is General Yang here? Please come in!" Xiao Cheng's voice came from the room. "Sun Jing, you come in too!"

Yang Wanfu and Sun Jing exchanged glances and stepped into the room together.

Xiao Cheng's expression was sad, his eyes were red and swollen, but what the two of them saw and felt at the moment was more dignified.

Kuizhou Luzhi was entrusted with the festival, and Li Fang's mansion was transferred to the envoy.

Li Fang stared dumbfoundedly at the imperial envoy from the capital, the great eunuch Quan Quan.

It is said that it is an imperial envoy, but the imperial edict brought by Quan Quan's trip is also a spectacle that Li Fang has never seen in his decades of official career.

There is not a word on it, but the emperor's private seal is stamped on it.What's even more bizarre is that there are also the private seals of the first assistant Xia Jie and the privy secretary Chen Gui on it.

According to the rules, Li Fang can completely reject such an order that is obviously not in compliance with the rules, but the combination of the officials, the chief assistant, and the privy secretary on this matter made Li Fang smell extremely dangerous .

"Officer Quan, if you don't make it clear, I will never obey the imperial edict!" Li Fang took a deep breath: "Okay, why do you want to arrest Xiao Cheng? This person has just been appointed by the court. You have done a great job, and now the reform of the dozens of Jilin states under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou has reached the most critical juncture. If one is not good, all previous efforts will be wasted. Moreover, Xiao Zhuan is currently attacking the barbarians of the Luo Dian Ghost Kingdom who killed the people of the Great Song Dynasty. , how could he be arrested for no reason."

"The Xiao family was involved in the rebellion against the king." Quan Quan looked embarrassed.

"Nonsense, do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Li Fang was furious. Even if he was not in the center, he knew the current situation.

"Bachelor, Xiao Yu is gone!" Quan Quan had no choice but to reveal the truth.

"It's gone! What, it's gone!" Li Fang jumped up suddenly: "Why isn't it here?"

Quan Quan whispered the news of Xiao Yu's death and the circumstances of his death, and Li Fang felt bad all over.

"So bachelor, the officials must also arrest Xiao Erlang. Xiao Ding is too strong now. It is always good for the court to have one more card in hand."

Fang Li looked at Quan Quan bitterly.

The Xiao Family Dalang is powerful now, so is it possible that the Xiao Family Erlang is easy to bully?
How to catch Xiao Erlang?
If I am not careful, I am afraid that the whole southeast will be in a chaotic rhythm, and the things I have worked hard for will disappear in a blink of an eye.
