Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 69 Aftermath [-]

downtown, street,
Due to the four gates being closed, the city was under martial law.At this time, the busy city seemed a little deserted.

Passers-by came and went in a hurry and did not dare to stop too much.I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will cause disaster and lose my life.

tread!tread!tread!
Suddenly, there was a frequent and intensive sound of horse hooves.

Not long after, there were horses on a rampage, rushing into the streets of the busy city.

"drive!!"

"drive!!"

"drive!!"

A famous knight was galloping on his horse. Wherever he passed, the people in Guizhou Province avoided him in fear.

These knights all had a head tied to their horse stirrups with twisted and ferocious facial expressions.

Some sharp-eyed people bowed their heads, covered their mouths in fear, and almost collapsed to the ground.

Immediately, he lowered his head quickly, not daring to look any further, and left in a hurry.

These knights were dressed in black armor, equipped with sabers, and covered their faces with black cloth, galloping all the way, like a black hurricane.

Near the downtown area, the first knight reined in his horse.

"Hey!!" Lumingda sat firmly on the horse, like an iron tower, which was intimidating.

After that, dozens of knights tightened their horses at the same time, and their movements were uniform and integrated.

"According to the general's order, more than thirty-seven of the evil bandits were beheaded and their corpses were exposed for seven days!"

Lumingda's voice was like thunder roaring from the sky, rolling in.

"Seven days of killing corpses!"

Lu Mingda drew his knife and cut off the head tied to the stirrup.

Snapped!Snapped! !

Dozens of knights drew their swords at the same time, and dozens of heads fell to the ground one after another.

Whoa! !

Some of the people who had not yet left were in an uproar, staring at the heads on the ground in shock.

Lu Mingda pulled the horse bolt, turned the direction, and shouted: "Let's go..."

tread!tread!tread!
…………

County government hall,

Under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, there are six rooms of history and the chief officers of the four camps.

Xun Shaoyu's expression was indifferent, he was in the main position, and he was full of meaning, and he frequently tapped the decorations in the public case.

Come
Zhao Xun'an was at the bottom, with a gloomy expression, his brows were furrowed, hesitating for a long time, often hesitating to speak.

Suddenly, with a bang, the front doors opened one after another.Lumingda strode into the hall.

"Superior..."

Lu Mingda said in a rough voice, clasping his fists: "Mingda has been ordered to return and come here to deliver the order!"

Xun Shaoyu looked down at his beloved general with clear eyes and said: "...come on board!"

Lumingda promised in a deep voice: "Here!"

This Lu Mingda seems to be reckless and ignorant, but in fact he is rough but subtle.

Although there is a feeling of friendship from an old friend, when facing Xun Shaoyu, the respect and propriety that should be shown are never compromised in the slightest.

Xun Shaoyu sighed and said: "Thirty-seven heads were left dead in the market."

"I believe that you all have many ideas, and you want to discuss them with me!"

"You might as well speak frankly, I would like to hear what everyone present has to say."

Even so, the thought of Xun Shaoyu, his disagreement, and the cruelty of his ax and ax still made the classics and historians hesitate to move forward.

Only Zhao Xun'an, after pondering for a moment and hesitating for a while, said: "The superior..."

Xun Shaoyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, Zhao Dianshi,"

Zhao Xunan hesitated and said, "I have something to say..."

Xun Shaoyu said: "Zhao Dianshi has something to say, so don't hold back. It would be impossible for me to be convicted of what I said!"

Zhao Xun'an said calmly: "The chaos of the bandits is just a matter of grudges! A mere bandit is like an ant floating in the dust. He is vulnerable to a single blow. A superior person can destroy him with a backhand."

"It's just... Fengtai Mountain should not be underestimated!"

In Zhao Huan'an's view, a mere bandit was not in his eyes at all.

However, if the background of this bandit is Erxiong Ridge in Fengtai Mountain, which has hundreds of years of history.This forces people to be more cautious.

As an old Danyang native, Zhao Xunan knew very well that those big villages in the mountains were powerful.

"If you are a high-ranking person, the lamp will be extinguished after death, and you will be alive within seven days. The act of killing corpses in the city makes the lower officials worried."

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the soul will return to life in seven days!
Xun Shaoyu killed Gao Tianbao and others for seven days, just to wipe out the souls of these people in one fell swoop.

Such harsh punishments, not to mention the mountain people, are inherently unreasonable and violent.

Even among the obedient people, some troubles may arise at one time.

After all, it is human nature to value death more than life at any time.

Xun Shaoyu nodded lightly and said, "I know what Zhao Dianshi means. I also know what all Dianshi mean."

"Do you think that offending a local force that cannot be underestimated because of temporary considerations is not worth the gain?"

Zhao Xunan's face trembled and he said: "This is absolutely not what you mean when you are a superior or a subordinate."

Perhaps, the Dazhai in the mountains has already accumulated great power!

Xun Shaoyu pondered for a while and said, "Mingda, Wen Yuan, do you two think this is worth it?"

When Lu Mingda heard the words, he said without thinking: "The superior's words, Mingda doesn't know if it's worth it."

"However, with the strength of one county, facing dozens of bandits, we have to compromise and be afraid of one or two."

"Let me ask you, where is the public's support and where is the public opinion driving us?"

This statement shocked all the classics and historians.

Of course, sometimes, the so-called public opinion and public opinion are just a way to whitewash peace.

However, the people's will cannot be deceived.

Once they, those in power, lose a layer of whitewash, they are not far away from "car crashes and fatalities".

Zhao Wenyuan made the final decision and said: "The land of a county is limited after all. If we want to grow and develop, we cannot just rely on the support of the commander-in-chief."

"There are tens of thousands of people living in Fengtai Mountain, and the people are fierce and good at fighting. If they can be settled and naturalized to increase the number of households, great things can be expected."

These words made all the civil and military personnel feel moved.

The mountain people were tough, which was a source of chaos and a factor of instability in the prosperous times.However, in troubled times, this suddenly became a rare advantage.

The mountain people had nothing and nothing left.

Once the recruitment is successful, not only will the population base be greatly increased, but soldiers who are good at fighting will also be much more relaxed.

Moreover, although Xun Shaoyu owned a county, his position was not very stable.

Jiangning County, nominally speaking, still belongs to Marshal Yuan Chengqi, and Xun Shaoyu is only in charge of it on his behalf.

Even at this moment, just one military order from Yuan Chengqi could remove most of Xun Shaoyu's military power.

Moreover, Xun Shaoyu could not feel resentful.

After all, Xun Shaoyu can achieve what he has today, and the role of Yuan Buqi in it, even if it is not ten points, is still seven or eight points.

Without Yuan Buqi, Xun Shaoyu would not be where he is today.

Therefore, even if Xun Shaoyu has full wings, he cannot neglect Yuan Buqi in the slightest.

The rebel army relies on the word "righteousness" to lead the way!
Since he, Xun Shaoyu, is a rebel, if he doesn't want to be in trouble, he must follow the rules of the rebels.Don't let others take advantage of you and ruin your reputation.

However, once those Fengtai Mountain residents are allowed to return to their homes and be registered, Xun Shaoyu's strength and power will be greatly increased.This will give you a bit more confidence in conquering other counties and prefectures.

Maybe we can take advantage of this momentum and sweep across Danyang, peeking up to Yangzhou, down to Yizhou, or even compete in the Central Plains.

Xun Shaoyu's eyes were bright, with twists and turns in them.

The mountain people are tough and savage. With a little training and streamlining, they can become a tiger and wolf army.

In these troubled times, everything is empty. Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness are no match for thousands of troops.

If Xun Shaoyu wants to achieve greater things, he cannot stay trapped in one county.If you want to develop and grow, you cannot stick to the rules.

Xun Shaoyu's eyes turned: "Most of the villages in the mountains have experienced three dynasties, and their foundations are deep and their power has been established."'
Xun Shaoyu could tell something about the situation around Danyang just by looking at the anxious expressions of several historians.

Even these people who have entered the official stream are as afraid of the mountain people as tigers.

Then Xun Shaoyu had to consider the attitude of the people at the head of Guizhou.

This forced Xun Shaoyu to become increasingly wary of the surrounding mountain people.

"It seems that those heads were not in vain."

Just a few heads can tell how terrifying the power of some mountain villages is.

It can make all the dignitaries in the execution chamber frightened to the point of speaking insincerely. How can such power not make Xun Shaoyu feel like he has a lump in his throat, making it difficult for him to sleep or eat well.

"Everyone... you can probably guess what I mean."

Xun Shaoyu's eyes were dark and he said: "I'm sorry to say that I intend to send troops to Erxiong Ridge. I won't hide it. This is not a good thing for you, and it won't be a good thing for me either." What a good thing."

"The general will not do such an act of separation from top to bottom!"

The tens of thousands of mountain people will not be ignored in the eyes of any person with lofty ideals.

Once tens of thousands of brave mountain people are organized into an army, who in the land of Yangzhou will be able to fight.

This is the foundation of great cause!

Lu Mingda was enthusiastic and said: "Mingda is willing to be a pioneer and send troops out of Erxiong Ridge."

With Zhao Wenyuan as the leader, all the camp leaders stepped forward and said: "I would like to be a pioneer..."

Xun Shaoyu's eyes softened slightly, and then he looked at the classics and historians. The meaning was self-evident.

Support from military conditions was important, but Xun Shaoyu also needed a clear attitude from the classics and historians.

In a county, the authority of the historian is very important.

After all, in a county, there is a county magistrate who manages major affairs, and a county magistrate who assists the county magistrate.And the official historian is the most powerful person under the county magistrate and county magistrate.

Even some powerful Dianshi and county magistrates, working together from top to bottom, may evade the county magistrate.

Therefore, Xun Shaoyu would never underestimate these seemingly submissive classics.

Even if he is a swordsman and all the classics and history books are fish and meat, he will not take it lightly.

Each of these classics and historians had strong influence in the county, and at least they were wealthy families and gentry.

All of them are old foxes pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. How dare Xun Shaoyu take them lightly.

Now it looks 'honest and reliable', but when marching to Erxiong Ridge, there was a fire in the rear.

Let these people work together to cut off the back road, it is really want to cry without tears.

When Liufang Dianshi heard this, his eyelids twitched, his face turned dark for a moment, and he looked at each other speechlessly.

Li Wei, the official historian of Hufang, was the first to say: "The superiors send troops. Although the inferior officials are unable to restrain the chickens, they are still willing to contribute."

As soon as Li Wei opened his mouth, the eyes of everyone in the hall suddenly froze.
