() An urgent report from Shuzhong pulled Song Qing out of bed. It was not a big deal, no one dared to alarm him at this time.

Something really big happened. There is a small town at the foot of Daba Mountain. This is the only way to enter central Sichuan. However, the town is located beyond Daba Mountain, so the terrain is relatively gentle.

It is such a small town. It is said that it was occupied by a Liangshan army three days ago. Then there was a dispute because the residents of the town refused to accept the oppression of the Liangshan soldiers. This Liangshan army simply refused to do anything and slaughtered the whole town.

The people then returned to Jinzhou.

Since this town still falls under the jurisdiction of Central Sichuan, the officials here are also appointed by Fang La. However, because it is too close to Jinzhou under Liangshan's control, no troops are stationed here to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Because this place is close to the Central Plains, it is here that has benefited the most from the huge changes in the Central Plains. It can be said that the residents here are not hostile to the Liangshan soldiers at all.

Under such circumstances, how could Liangshan soldiers enter the town without the consent of their superiors? And also commit a brutal massacre? It was obvious that someone was deliberately manipulating this matter.

However, the people in Sichuan didn't think so. Fang La and his son were no strangers, but they didn't expect that the Liangshan people were more barbaric than them and could do things like massacre the city. If they were allowed to enter Sichuan, would the people in Sichuan still have a way to survive?

?

Originally, this incident was not such a big deal, but under the publicity and exaggeration of those who were interested, the Liangshan soldiers have become demons in the world. Big bad guys who do all kinds of evil.

Incited by Lu Junyi's Zoroastrianism, many people in central Sichuan petitioned to join the army to jointly resist the invasion of Liangshan.

Hearing this news, Fang La's nose almost burst out of joy. With the people in Sichuan being as united as him, do they still need to be afraid of the Liangshan army's attack?

So he immediately sent an order to Wang Yin and Deng Yuanjue to expand his troops, prepare food and wages, and stationed a large army on the front line of Daba Mountain to prevent the Liangshan troops from attacking.

Of course Song Qing knew that it was impossible for his people to do such a thing, and his intuition told him that this matter was probably related to Lu Junyi. It seemed that this guy was going to be the enemy of the Liangshan brothers to the end.

In fact, Song Qing didn't think it was difficult to capture Shuzhong. There were many reasons why he didn't attack immediately. On the one hand, he considered that his foundation was too weak, and Fang La's people in Shuzhong still had a certain popularity, so the attack would be difficult.

There are some difficulties, and there are too many ethnic minorities in Sichuan. If one of them cannot control them well, it is easy to cause chaos. Therefore, appropriate policies must be in place.

Now, just over a year later, Fang La and his son have begun to dig their own graves.

If this had not happened, as long as the Liangshan army entered Sichuan in a few more days, it would have been a matter of course and they would not have encountered too many difficulties.

Now that this incident has happened, entering Sichuan will definitely be blocked by the people, but Fang La would never have dreamed that one of his most trusted subordinates, Lu Shinang, who had the power of military aircraft, had already sold him.

I feel that in the early Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court launched a bloody suppression of Shu in order to completely pacify Shu, so that the people in Shu still hate the imperial court as before. Therefore, the Song and Qing Dynasties will never follow in the footsteps of the imperial court. In the eyes of the people in Shu

The shadow of his cruelty is left in his heart.

The top priority now is not to study how to advance troops, but to find ways to eliminate the negative impact of this incident on Liangshan.

Song Qing ordered people to call Wu Yong and Zhu Wu to his place overnight.

Like Song Qing, after the two of them read the news, their first thoughts were related to Lu Junyi.

Ever since Fang La sent troops to Xingqing Mansion and was defeated by Song Qing's troops, in the past two years, both sides have been at peace with each other, and Liangshan has never shown any intention of entering Shu.

Why is it that as soon as there is news about Lu Junyi here, there is such a big incident at the border? So if you say that this matter has nothing to do with him, I am afraid even a ghost will not believe it.

Both of them agreed with Song and Qing's decision not to send troops for the time being, but they could not let the situation develop like this.

Wu Yong pondered for a moment and said: "Since Lu Yuanwai has made an attack, we can't do it if we don't accept it. What I mean is to downplay it and let them go about recruiting troops and preparing for war. Let's put the whole story of this matter into a statement.

Distributed throughout Sichuan. Chitose has implemented benevolent policies in recent years, and everyone in the world has witnessed it. I believe that gradually the people in Sichuan will understand the truth of the matter."

Zhu Wu also nodded and said: "According to the intelligence, these people pretending to be our Liangshan army lost their traces in Jinzhou, so we should start there first, mobilize all our strength, find this group of people, and bring them to justice."

He must be brought to justice and the people of Shu must be held accountable.”

There are three cobblers, but only one is Zhuge Liang. Song Qing increasingly believes that working together is the wisest approach.

Early the next morning, Song Qing sent an order to Xiao Rang, asking him to draft a memorandum, stating that the Liangshan Army would never do such a cruel and inhumane thing, and promised to catch the murderer who pretended to be the Liangshan Army and give an account to the people who died.

At the end of this motto, I return the favor to Liang

In the name of the king, it was announced that the people in Shu would be exempted from taxes and corvées for three years. Starting from the date of the announcement, when the Liangshan army enters Shu, all the taxes, money and food that Fangla had plundered from the people would be returned. If there is any

False words are disgusted by both humans and gods.

Tens of thousands of copies of this memorandum will be copied and then distributed throughout Sichuan.

Along with this memorandum, the Liangshan army stationed on the border of central Sichuan was ordered to withdraw across the board, using practical actions to prove Liangshan's sincerity to the people of central Sichuan.

At the same time, the Song and Qing Dynasties sent Gao Jin to lead the elite forces to Jinzhou to track down the murderer who pretended to be Liangshan's army.

As this message spread in Shu, Deng Yuanjue fell into deep regret. How could he have believed Lu Junyi in the first place?

If the Liangshan army were to attack, it would be easy to talk about anything, but now it is better. Instead of fighting, the Liangshan army has withdrawn its troops. The people are not fools, and it will not take long to understand the fishiness of this. By then, people like myself will be in Shu.

He has become a street rat.

I looked for Lu Junyi again, but I heard that he had already gone to Dali.

What Deng Yuanjue could understand, others could not necessarily understand.

Hearing that the Liangshan troops had retreated, Fang La and others were overjoyed. They thought it was the Liangshan troops who had been scared away, and they all praised Fang La. Even Fang La himself felt a little elated.

Fortunately, he still had some sense and did not send troops to pursue the Liangshan troops.

When the news came out, Fang La's army, which had been nervous for a while, began to return to its old ways, and the popularity it had worked so hard to rebuild collapsed in the shortest time.

On the other hand, the appeal from Liangshan increasingly convinced the people of Shu that Liangshan's army had been wronged. Especially the article added by King Liang at the end attracted the people of Shu.

Three years of taxes and corvee!

Compared with the violent conquests of Fang La's army, the people in Shu began to look forward to the arrival of Liangshan's army earlier.

After Lu Junyi received the news, he couldn't help but sigh. No one could stop Song Qing from entering Shu. If he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave.

So Lu Yuanwai, who was always stirring up trouble wherever he went, sneaked into Dali and started his new conspiracy.

At the same time, Gao Jin also arrived at the town that had been massacred, but when he arrived, Gao Jin was dumbfounded.

It is true that the town ahead is Jinzhou, but in order to show that it is not hostile to the people in Sichuan, there was no garrison in the capital of Jinzhou before. There is also a small town under the rule of Jinzhou not far from the town, which also has no army.

Where did the army come from?

Through a detailed understanding of the small towns under Jinzhou's rule, Gao Jin concluded that the group of people pretending to be Liangshan troops did not come to Jinzhou at all. Then there was only one explanation left, that they entered the mountains.

After the town is Daba Mountain. The vast Daba Mountain has high mountains and dense forests. The murderer obviously escaped from the mountain. But so many days have passed and it is almost impossible to find clues from the mountain. Moreover, Gao Jin and the others have no idea.

You know the mountain roads here, it is easy to get lost after entering the mountains.

What can I do?

It was definitely not possible to go back. Gao Jin didn't have the habit of going back if he couldn't complete the task. It seemed that he had to find a guide to go into the mountain.

Gao Jin's trip brought with him five hundred elite warriors who had been trained as internal guards. These people were not suitable for fighting on the battlefield, but they were all masters at close quarters combat and stealth tracking.

Cao Zheng expected that there would not be too many people pretending to be Liangshan troops to attack the town. At the same time, if something happened, Gao Jin could always ask for help from the defenders of other cities in Jinzhou. Therefore, he only sent 500 people to Gao Jin.

Gao Jin also didn't pay attention to the people pretending to be Liangshan troops. Seeing that it was getting late, he sent an order to set up camp and went to the small town under Jinzhou tomorrow to find a guide.

Not long after the camp was set up, two middle-aged men with local accents came outside the camp. After revealing their identities as internal guards, they asked to see Gao Jin.

Gao Jin knew that as soon as the incident broke out, the local internal guards had sent people over to investigate, so he immediately called two people in.

One of these two people is called Lu An and the other is Pan Jun. They are both locals in Dazhou and have joined the inner guard a year ago.

After seeing the ceremony, Lu An said with a solemn expression: "Mr. Gao, I have a very bad feeling that the people who massacred the people in this small town may not be ordinary people."

The people in the inner guard have been strictly selected and know all kinds of disciplines. Therefore, they will never talk nonsense.

Gao Jin was worrying about this matter, and when he saw the serious expressions on the two men's faces, he couldn't help but raise his spirits.

"How do you say this?"

Pan Jun said in a deep voice: "Before Mr. Gao arrived, the two of me had already surveyed the surrounding area and concluded that these people were ruthless and familiar with the surrounding terrain. After killing people, they almost moved away.

They took away all the valuable things in the town, but left almost no traces on the way out. Based on this, the two of us analyzed that the person who carried out this tragedy was probably the Shanyue people on the mountain."

"Shanyue people?"

Gao Jin couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this. In recent years, as he has been exposed to more and more confidential matters, especially now about Shuzhong. Shuzhong is mostly mountainous, and except for people living in towns,

Apart from the common people, the majority are Shanyue people who live in the deep mountains and old forests.

Gao Jin knew that the reason why the thousand-year-old King of Liang was reluctant to enter Shu, but continued to adopt a soft policy, was probably due to the Shanyue people.
