The two generals were surprised when they saw Huangfu Yunzhao's angry look.
Huangfu Yunzhao has always been calm and rarely gets angry. Even if he is angry in his heart, he will try his best to hide it on his face. It is extremely rare to see such an angry face.
The two of them did not dare to mention the fight in the barracks at this moment. They squatted down and picked up the papers scattered on the ground. Although they were both generals, luckily they were both literate. After a few glances, they both changed their faces in shock and looked at each other.
One glance, and they looked at each other.
At this moment, I heard the sound of footsteps and turned around to see Liang Zongyi, the governor of Yingping County, rushing over. The two knew what was going on and stepped aside without saying a word.
"I have met the general." Liang Zongyi saw papers scattered on the ground, seemed to understand something, and bowed in salute.
Huangfu Yunzhao snorted coldly and said: "Master Liang, you should know why I invited you here."
"I didn't expect something like this to happen." Liang Zongyi said hurriedly: "I have sent people to search the streets and tear down all these notices."
Huangfu Yunzhao had an angry look on his face and said: "It was fine in the morning. This afternoon, under clear sky and white sun, countless such notices were posted in the streets and alleys of the city. Do you think it happened by chance?" He picked up a notice on the table and said with a stern expression.
Said: "I have said that Qin Xiao's edict is a fake edict and cannot be true. The imperial court did not make him a champion general, nor did it hand over the military power of the four northeastern counties to him. It's better now, these
The notice claims that Qin Xiao is the champion general, and also says that our Liaodong Army has raised its flag to rebel and is a rebel. Many people have seen these notices, and in less than a day, people all over the city will know the contents of the notice."
"It's because the lower official is incompetent." Liang Zongyi broke out in cold sweat on his forehead and said, "General, calm down and the lower official will immediately issue a notice to tell the people in the city that these are all rumors."
Huangfu Yunzhao sneered: "It's too late to issue a notice now. The news has spread everywhere, and the people in the city are already doubtful. As long as they have doubts in their hearts, it will be a great disadvantage to us. Who dares to support the rebels?"
"The lower official will personally explain to the people that this is someone spreading rumors." Liang Zongyi said: "The Liaodong Army has been guarding the Northeast for a hundred years, and the people will not think that the Liaodong Army is rebelling just because of these notices."
Huangfu Yunzhao said: "As long as the seeds of doubt are sown in their hearts, they will not dare to fully support the Liaodong Army. It is too late to say this now. Mr. Liang, I am just surprised. You have been in charge of Shunjin City for some years. In this city,
There are a large number of rebels, don’t you know anything about it?" Shaking the notice in his hand, "In one afternoon, under clear sky and white sun, hundreds of notices were posted in the streets and alleys of the city. Is this something that ten or eight people can do?
They have to avoid the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers, and they have to make these notices in advance and know where to post them. Do you think they can do this without hundreds of people?"
Liang Zongyi said hurriedly: "I will send people to conduct a thorough investigation now, and we will arrest all these traitors as quickly as possible."
"They dare to do this, and they are confident." Huangfu Yunzhao said: "I was going to defend Shunjincheng, and I focused all my energy on the city's defense deployment. I originally wanted to leave all the affairs in the city to you. Fortunately, Long Ruijun
We haven't fought yet, otherwise the enemy troops are approaching the city, but there are so many rebels in the city. Once they cooperate inside and outside, the consequences will be unimaginable." His face was stern, he thought for a moment, and finally said: "Master Liang, there are bandits in the city, if we can't bring them down,
Once these rebels are cleaned up, Shunjincheng cannot be saved."
Liang Zongyi's eyes showed a ferocious look and he said: "General, don't worry, even if you dig three feet into the ground, your subordinates will dig out all these people and hang them all." "Come here, is there anything you can do?" Huangfu said.
Zhao looked at the two generals standing aside.
The two looked at each other, knowing that mentioning what happened in the camp at this time would only add fuel to the fire, and the general would definitely become even more angry, so they both lowered their heads and said nothing.
"General Qian Lang, you happen to be here. From now on, you will mobilize your troops to assist Mr. Liang in searching for the rebels in the city." Huangfu Yunzhao looked at Liang Zongyi and said: "These people posted notices. There are so many of them that they will definitely stay.
Leave a lot of clues. Mr. Liang, don’t worry about other things for now. The top priority is to find out all the rebels in the city. You would rather kill them by mistake than let them go. Everyone related to this matter should be arrested.
There is no need to be merciful, but if there is the slightest resistance, kill them immediately without mercy."
Liang Zongyi and Qian Lang will surrender at the same time.
"Xu Shen." Huangfu Yunzhao looked at his subordinates and said: "You mobilize 600 people, and add 300 guards to the granary and arsenal each. No one is allowed to approach. To allocate supplies from the arsenal and granary, you must first
Please tell me, general, no one is allowed to take away a weapon or a grain of food without my order. If there is any discrepancy, I will only ask you."
Liang Zongyi lowered his head, but his face looked a little ugly.
The arsenal and granary belong to Yingping County. Logically speaking, they can only be managed by himself, the county governor. However, Huangfu Yunzhao's words are equivalent to taking all the arsenal and granary of Yingping County directly.
The arsenal was nothing more than the granary. There were tens of thousands of grains and grains stored in the granary. According to Huangfu Yunzhao's wishes, the grain and grass instantly belonged to the Liaodong Army. As a county guard, he was unable to withdraw even one grain from the granary.
He was quite dissatisfied, but naturally he did not dare to say a word at this time.
While Huangfu Yunzhao was furious, Qin Xiao was in an extremely happy mood.
The Xuzhou Incident shocked Qin Xiao, but after some discussions with his civilian and military generals, his mood became much better.
As Bai Yulou said, even if there is a huge flood in the pass, Long Ruijun is unable to intervene now. All he can do is to do his own thing step by step.
What makes Qin Xiao even more happy is that Bai Yulou's proposal of using grain as tax offset is indeed a brilliant idea.
Qin Xiao has seen years of famine, so he has a strong sense of crisis regarding food and grass. In his opinion, whatever Long Ruijun's next action plan is, it needs sufficient logistics support for food and grass. Once the granary is empty, then
Nothing can be done.
He originally wanted to raise more money to buy grain and fodder to hoard food, and even thought about letting Bai Yulou and other officials come forward to borrow some money from the wealthy families in western Liaoning.
However, Bai Yulou's ingenious strategy eliminated these troubles.
Merchants have a certain profit margin by deducting taxes from grain, and in order to get the support of Long Ruijun, the merchants trading in Heishan will of course fully cooperate with the decree issued by Qin Xiao. In this way, Western Liaoning does not have to
If you go out to purchase grain in person, you don't have to be responsible for transporting it yourself. Everything will be taken care of by those merchants. When the time comes, a large amount of grain used to deduct taxes will flow into the granary.
Qin Xiao has even negotiated with Bai Yulou and others about the construction of a new granary. As for military affairs such as the reorganization and surrender of troops, Yu Wencheng is in charge of it, which saves Qin Xiao from worrying.
After some arrangements, Qin Xiao determined that there would be nothing major that he needed to deal with in the next few days, let alone leaving Guangning. He felt relieved and directly told everyone that he needed to practice martial arts in the next few days. If there was nothing major, don't disturb him.
.Everyone also knows that Qin Xiao has been practicing martial arts, so they naturally have no objection to this.
In the evening, it rained again. Qin Xiao, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, rode a horse to the small private school. The air was mixed with the smell of earth and vegetation, but it was also refreshing.
Zhuque was also dressed in casual clothes today, without any makeup, but her natural beauty was even more refined.
"Everything has been arranged." Qin Xiao picked up the tea that Suzaku had just poured, but felt that the tea fragrance was light, mixed with the scent of beauty and body fragrance that filled the room, and it was more relaxing than the smell of mud and grass in the rain. He took a sip.
After tea, he said: "Aunt Ying, according to your instructions, nothing will disturb me in the next few days. Everything will be arranged by you."
Suzaku's expression was calm and collected, appearing unfazed, but she frequently picked up the teacup and then put it down again, showing that she was not as calm inside as she appeared on the surface.
Seeing that she was silent, Qin Xiao could only ask: "Does it start tonight?"
"How...are you feeling well?" Zhuque glanced sideways at Qin Xiao and finally asked, "You seem to be very busy recently. Do you want to take another day off to recuperate?" Before Qin Xiao could speak, he added:
: "Once it starts, for seven consecutive days, the consumption... consumption should be quite a lot."
Qin Xiao felt strange, secretly thinking about how much physical energy would be consumed by taking medicine? But then he thought that maybe those medicines were not just simple to take. He knew that after taking many wonderful medicines, you need to use your energy to make the medicine work. He immediately thought of what Zhuque taught him before.
Wangqingjue came to his senses and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Ying, I have plenty of energy."
Upon hearing this, Suzaku's cheeks instantly turned red. Although his expression was calm, a charming look naturally appeared between his eyebrows.
"Have you memorized the Art of Forgetting Love clearly?"
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "It's very familiar, there will be no problem." After looking around, he couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Ying, are the medicinal materials ready?"
Suzaku was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion: "You...you have to take the medicine from the beginning? Is it...is it too early?"
"Ah?" Qin Xiao was a little surprised, wondering if he didn't take the medicinal materials from the beginning?
Suzaku said that an important foundation for martial arts practice is the human body. Turning one's body into a good human vessel can not only delay the aging of the body and maintain youth, but also achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing martial arts.
Her own body is the ultimate human vessel.
Qin Xiao also knows that Aunt Ying has become a top-notch human being because she has been taking various drugs since she was a child.
Zhuque wanted to help him become a good person. Qin Xiao always thought that the best way was to take all kinds of top-quality medicinal materials. To this end, he spent a lot of money and left several thousand taels of silver to Aunt Ying, just in the hope that Zhuque could purchase the required medicinal materials for preparation.
.
He finally made time. He must have taken various medicinal materials in the past few days to make his body achieve a breakthrough. However, Zhuque's attitude made Qin Xiao a little strange. He wondered if there were other steps before taking the medicinal materials?
"The medicinal materials you mentioned, I...I have prepared them." Although Suzaku is well-informed and was once the most powerful person in Penglai Island, and he is trying his best to appear calm at this moment, but
The expression on his eyebrows was still a little unnatural, "But you... you are in good health, so you don't need it at the beginning. We'll check back in a few days...!"
