Zhang Wu didn't do anything, he just stood up and walked slowly out the door.
Xu Ya was very dissatisfied with the attitude of Zhang Wu, a mud-legged man, and Zhang Wu suddenly mentioned Xu Shuji, the former military governor. Has this mud-legged man ever seen his clan uncle?
It shouldn’t be, what a person Xu Shuji is!
Zhang Wu killed Xu Shuji, and Zhang Xun finally wrote to the court, resisting Zhang Wu's charge of killing Xu Shuji.
However, the imperial court also knew that Xu Shuji's death was a bad debt. Now that the Bianzhou army had dispersed, no one was clamoring to avenge Xu Shuji, and Zhang Xun was a hero who had just made great achievements, so Zhang Xun was not held accountable.
The Tang Dynasty court only publicized that Xu Shuji was killed by the assassins of the puppet Yan, and sealed his wife and children. Xu Shuji's family did not make any more trouble.
In troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass. Even if you are a noble military envoy, you may be killed by the little Qiu Ba.
Therefore, everyone in Bianzhou City knew that Xu Shuji was assassinated, but they did not know who assassinated him.
Zhang Wu walked out of Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, and a group of soldiers in armor surrounded him. They asked Zhang Wu:
"General, how's it going?"
After Zhang Wu finished speaking, the players lowered their heads.
Xu Ya turned pale with fright, but before he could escape, the gate of the Jiedushi Mansion collapsed. Zhang Wu, whose face was full of blood, stood at the door of the Jiedushi Mansion with a knife, looking at the arrogant and domineering man just now.
Xu Ya.
Humans are such an animal. When they are alone, they may be submissive, but when there are more people, they naturally muster up courage.
But now that the governor has neglected his duties and escaped, and the knife of Bianzhou is in Zhang Wu's hands, these wealthy households have finally remembered that human life is as light as a piece of grass during the war.
He raised his trembling hand and pointed at Zhang Wu. Just when he was about to speak out, Zhang Wu rushed over and pierced Xu Ya's heart with a sharp blade.
An assassin of the Tang Army coerced Xu Shuji into handing over the battle to Nan Jiyun, and then killed Xu Shuji in public. Although Xu Ya did not witness this with his own eyes, he heard it from Xu Shuji's personal soldiers.
"Yes, yes!"
"I killed Xu Ya because he led the rich people to refuse the rewards. Killing him is just."
However, Anqingxu's bandits were besieging the city these days, and Xu Ya couldn't connect that Zhang Wu with the Zhang Wu in front of him.
Only then did Xu Ya vaguely remember that the name of the God of Killing that Xu Shuji's soldier mentioned back then seemed to be Zhang Wu.
Xu Ya was frightened by Zhang Wu's gaze, because it was impossible to hide the look of someone who wanted a knife. Obviously, in Zhang Wu's eyes, Xu Ya was already a dead person.
Several wealthy households present expressed their intention to "help" the Xu family with money, and Zhang Wu left with satisfaction.
"I will not harm justice for selfish reasons!"
But soon, there was a noise at the door of Jiedushi's mansion, and Xu Ya's heart twitched.
On weekdays, these private soldiers caused a lot of resentment among the people. Xu Ya didn't know that the men he sent to guard the city gates had long been assassinated by players, and the Bianzhou city had long been controlled by Zhang Wu.
All the wealthy households expressed their opinions and donated generously. Zhang Wu just smiled. He looked at Xu Ya and said:
"Repaying debts is a matter of course. Our Bianzhou army is not a traitor. The reward promised that day cannot be less than a penny. It will be delivered to the military camp outside the city before noon tomorrow. Is there any problem?"
The private soldiers raised by these wealthy households were usually served with good food and drink, and they often relied on the power of their masters to act tyrannically in Bianzhou City.
These are tigers and wolves who have seen blood on their blades!
Several wealthy people around Xu Ya knelt down and shouted:
"General Zhang, spare your life! We are willing to reward you with money!"
"If it is to occupy Bianzhou and bribe the soldiers to kill all the wealthy households in Bianzhou City for money, then it is selfish."
But it was too late to regret now. Zhang Wu looked at everyone and said:
Zhang Wu continued: "Our Bianzhou Army has always had a tradition of rescuing friendly forces. When Xu Jiedushi was in office, in order to rescue Suiyang, he handed over all his soldiers to General Nan. Now the An thieves have gone to Pengcheng.
, if we attack Pengcheng to harm the southeast, it will ruin the overall situation of the imperial court."
As for the appearance of the killing god described by the soldier, Xu Ya recalled that it was exactly the same as Zhang Wu!
Hearing what Zhang Wu said again, Xu Ya was so frightened that he could not speak.
General Zhang Wu distributed the reward money to the soldiers, and then he trained his troops outside Bianzhou City and did not lead any troops into Bianzhou.
These soldiers immediately drew their sabers and shouted: "We fought tooth and nail for Bianzhou City, but these gentlemen turned against us as soon as the rebels retreated?"
Xu Ya was killed by Zhang Wu, and now the Xu family has completely lost power in Bianzhou City.
"The last time I met with the former Jiedushi, General Nan refused to send troops even though he begged. If Zhang hadn't persuaded him, Xu Jiedushi would have lost his righteousness."
However, Xu Ya still forced himself to stand. Although his legs were still trembling, it was already too late for him to kneel down again.
Xu Ya didn't know how Zhang Wu's brothers rushed into Bianzhou City, but at this time he was extremely regretful. Why didn't he agree to Zhang Wu's conditions and pay the reward to the soldiers?
In fact, after Xu Shuji's death, the Xu family gave up a lot of their property and joined the new governor to maintain their position.
"Our Bianzhou New Army is preparing to march eastward to pursue the bandits and support Pengcheng. Are you willing to sponsor the necessary food, grass and military supplies?"
Zhang Wu sighed and said, "They still don't agree to pay the reward."
"Master of the family! That Zhang Wu led his men to come in!"
The players who took refuge in Zhang Wulai couldn't help but ask:
"Boss Zhang, why don't we occupy Bianzhou!"
"But the Xu family wants to pay?"
Everyone spoke out the anger in their hearts. As soon as the rebels retreated, these gentlemen refused to admit their guilt, which immediately aroused resentment in the army.
"If they robbed Bianzhou City for money, what is the difference between our Bianzhou New Army and An Qingxu's bandits?"
"Even if we lose everything, we must still fund the rebels!"
Zhang Wu shook his head and said:
As a member of the Xu family, Xu Ya naturally knew how Xu Shuji died.
Xu Ya was not a fool. Before participating in the negotiation, he also summoned the family's private soldiers to ambush the Jiedushi Mansion. If Zhang Wu had not agreed to his conditions just now, then the family's private soldiers who were ambushing around would rush out to attack Zhang Wu.
Capture him with force.
Zhang Wu continued: "If there are wealthy people who oppress the people and make people resentful, I will naturally kill them."
Naturally, the Xu family's property was divided among various families, and these families worked together to collect the rewards they had promised before.
"That's right, why don't we extort more money? Or copy them all!"
In fact, what Zhang Wu didn't mention is that the players in Bianzhou today are basically local generals and have no administrative talents.
"Let the people of Pengcheng see the loyalty of our Bianzhou people!"
Those wealthy households naturally said: "No problem, no problem!"
When Xu Ya fell to the ground, Zhang Wu said:
"We, the Bianzhou New Army, are rebels, not traitors. We cannot lose a penny that belongs to us, and we will not take a penny from what does not belong to us!"
Zhang Wu wanted to conquer the east, so he needed Bianzhou to provide food, grass and military supplies.
Many players fell silent.
Then these wealthy households began to buy grain in nearby cities and helped Zhang Wu raise grain and grass.
Of course, the Chang'an court was unaware of all these subtle changes.
Rather than doing this, it is better to keep these wealthy households until players who are good at administrative work arrive in Bianzhou City, and then liquidate these wealthy households.
"Yes! Before I joined the army, I helped my mother-in-law find a new wife! I joined the army with the intention of dying!"
Before the damage to Anlu Mountain had been repaired, An Qingxu and Shi Siming came to kill them again.
"I didn't expect that when I met the head of the Xu family in Bianzhou today, I realized why everyone said that the head of the Xu family and Xu Jiedushi are similar."
Even wealthy people like them had to take off half of their skin if they wanted to preserve their family. How could they be so obsessed with bargaining with Xu Ya and Zhang Wu for a small reward?
Zhang Wu continued: "The most difficult thing in the world is to keep your bottom line."
"What is the difference between the Bianzhou New Army and An Qingxu? Because we are a disciplined army. Our defense of Bianzhou is what the people want and it is a just thing. Only in this way can we unite as one and stop An Qingxu's army."
"It is easy to change from a man to a beast, but it is difficult to change from a beast to a man. Once military discipline is corrupted, it is difficult to straighten it out."
"When we got down there, Dai Zhangwu asked Xu Jiedu how he was doing."
Xu Ya was even speechless, Zhang Wu said in his ear:
If these wealthy households were killed, the order in Bianzhou City would collapse, and at that time he would have to stay in Bianzhou City to maintain order.
Zhang Wu pointed at Xu Ya's body and said:
"This thief has evil intentions. He wants to deprive our Bianzhou New Army of military resources and hinder our New Army's rescue operation in Pengcheng. Now that the military situation is urgent, Zhang will kill this wolf first and then plead guilty to the court later!"
"I killed Xu Shuji back then because Xu Shuji refused to rescue Suiyang because of his personal grudge with Zhang Xun. I also killed Xu Shuji out of justice."
He obviously had people guarding the city gate and did not let these poor Han troops outside the city come in. How could Zhang Wu still let people cause trouble?
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Ya was about to send someone out to check, but he didn't expect that several private soldiers covered in blood were defeated and entered the lobby.
Zhang Wu easily accepted the rich people's request. Xu Ya breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Zhang Wu to give in so easily.
The organizations from the prefecture to the county were almost destroyed. The officials sent from Chang'an were killed again by An Lushan. After the Tang Dynasty regained these areas, they were killed again. An Qingxu came and killed them again.
The imperial court almost completely lost control over the areas near Luoyang, northern Henan Province, Ziqing and other Qilu areas, not to mention the three towns in Hedong. The imperial court almost became deaf and blind.
From the perspective of the Tang Dynasty court, the current situation is that Shi Siming besieged Luoyang, An Qingxu's troops were pushing to the southeast, and the country of the Tang Dynasty was on the verge of collapse.
Under such circumstances, Guo Ziyi continued to write to the court, requesting the court to recruit new troops, weapons and horses.
On April 20th, the imperial court issued a decree to issue the Qianyuan Chongbao.
