The news of Bohai's surrender to Beijing, driven intentionally or unintentionally, spread throughout Hebei like a strong wind, and gradually spread to the surrounding areas. In Shao Sheng's loyal Guanxi, everyone has long been accustomed to winning one after another. After hearing this
, praised each other, and at the same time boasted about the great achievements of the saint, and talked about his "glorious past" when he transferred grain and grass to Shao Sheng, and how honored he was.
Some people are eager to ask whether Bohai Country is worth visiting.
Guanxi has been peaceful for many years. Jingzhaofu, Yaozhou, Huazhou, Tongzhou and other places have fewer people and more people. Those who immigrated in the early years have benefited greatly. I heard that they have a family business that can be passed on to future generations.
People are envious.
If the land in Bohai Country is relatively fertile and the climate is not so cold that people cannot survive, it is not impossible to have a try. A saint is a saint, and his victory can always bring tangible benefits to us Kansai people.
In Zhili, Henan, and Huaihai, what everyone is concerned about is that after removing the last "enemy" in the north, the government may not be so anxious to impose taxes?
After many years of fighting, everyone has sacrificed too much. Many of the countrymen from the local regiments went to war and never came back. They did not gain much benefit, but they lost the mainstay of their families.
According to the singing method in the opera, it should be a time of peace and prosperity next, right?
On the land of Helong where the rebellion was under way, the Qiang, Tubo, Uighur, and Dangxiang chiefs looked horrified.
Why are the Khitans and Bohai people so incompetent? Are they afraid that they will fall apart in just one encounter? It’s so useless, really - ugh! From now on, do we still have to resist the imperial court’s levying of soldiers and taxes?
The tribes that these saints were close to were so hateful and overbearing. Do you still want to fight with them? Han people are constantly moving from the Central Plains and occupying their land and pastures. Do you want to force them?
To be honest, this last thing is the most unacceptable to them. My summer pasture is used for grazing on a rotating basis, but you use it for farming?
The struggle for interests touches the soul the most, and it is difficult to give in. But now it seems that it is becoming more and more dangerous to continue to fight against the imperial court. How sad!

It is already the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year atmosphere in Guangling City is getting stronger and stronger.
Although there were repeated reports of wars from the north, Li Chengnai, the governor of Chuzhou, was very capable. He used the Huai River as a screen to defend the territory impregnably, causing the Xia people to suffer several losses and greatly boosting their own morale.
The Jiangxi side is a bit annoying. In the two expeditions, neither of them got any benefits. Instead, they lost troops and morale. But after all, they were far away and their importance to Guangling was not that high, so most people didn't pay much attention to it.
The eighth day of December, the twelfth lunar month.
As the proverb goes: "When the drums sound, spring grass grows."
On this day, the villagers beat thin-waisted drums, wore beards, and acted as vajra warriors to ward off the epidemic, which was quite lively.
Yang Wo rode a horse and watched from a distance. Behind him was a large group of sergeants with arrogant looks on their faces. Xu Wen and Zhang Hao were not at ease. They rode their horses a few steps forward but hesitated to speak.
Suddenly, Yang Wo laughed loudly, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed out like an arrow from the string. Xu Wen and Zhang Hao followed him subconsciously without knowing what was going on.
Seeing a fast horse rushing into the team, the villagers panicked and the formation became chaotic.
There was no one else in Yang Wo's eyes, he only stared at a slim girl. In the blink of an eye, he rushed to her, reached out and pulled her into his arms. The girl panicked and struggled desperately. This in turn aroused Yang Wo's playfulness.
Heart, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he kept teasing: "Don't worry, little lady, when I have done enough, I will throw you to
When the girl heard this, she became even more panicked and started crying.
"Beast!" A young man rushed over and roared angrily.
"Whoosh!" An arrow flew out and hit the young man's throat. The strong force directly brought him to the ground, and he soon became silent. "Badger slave!" A middle-aged man cried.
"Why not root out the grass?" Yang Wo said.
The sergeant understood and shot another arrow, and the middle-aged man also fell to the ground. The villagers were frightened and immediately dispersed, their waist drums and masks were thrown on the ground.
"No!" Zhang Ying was about to speak when Yang Wo ordered the weeds to be eradicated, but Xu Wen stopped him.
"Don't you see Liu Cun's death?" Xu Wen whispered.
Zhang Hao's heart trembled.
After the former king went on a secret expedition to Pingtian, he sent the crown prince Yang Wo to control Xuanzhou. Later, he fell seriously ill and ordered the crown prince to go to Guangling to take over the throne. He also sent general Liu Cun out to control Xuanshe. The crown prince wanted to take his curtain and his own soldiers to go there.
If you are not allowed to save it, then let it go.
But after Yang Wo succeeded to the throne, he summoned Liu Cun to Guangling and killed him.
Liu Cun was from Tangzhou. He had followed the late king in his early years and was very loyal. But for such a die-hard general to be killed by the crown prince out of anger, isn't it a big joke?
If this was just one incident, it would be even more chilling if Zhou Yin, an important counselor of the late king, was killed. Zhou Yin was from Shuzhou, upright and loyal to what he did. He was a judge of the Huainan shogunate and had very senior qualifications.
.
When the late king was seriously ill, Zhou Yin bluntly said that Yang Wo was not the head of the family, and suggested that Liu Weiquan should lead the army and return the throne to his sons when they grew up. Because of these words, Zhou Yin was hated by Yang Wo.
When it came to attacking Jiangxi, Zhou Yin also told Li Siyuan that Zhou Dewei was a general in the north, and the Jin soldiers were brave and good at fighting, so they should not be taken lightly. Wo refused to listen, and lost two battles, mourning his master and apprentice. After the news was sent back to Guangling, he did not know where to go.
Why did he kill Zhou Yin again?
Zhou Yin and Liu Cun, both civil and military, were all senior generals in Huainan and were the team left by the late king to his son, but they were killed like this. As a result, all the old officials were in danger and didn't know what to do.
Xu Wen and Zhang Hao were Yang Xingmi's entrusted ministers. They followed Yang Wo every day, and they were even more frightened, fearing that they would be killed one day.
This guy is clearly a vengeful master. When he was the heir apparent, he used to pretend to be the heir, but now that he has succeeded, he really has a grudge that cannot last forever. If he is offended, Zhou Yin and Liu Cun can be killed, and they both
How can it be an exception?
To be honest, if it weren't for the excessive pressure from the Xia people and the infighting, everyone would have stopped getting used to this trash.
After the villagers over there escaped, Yang Wo made a show of giving chase. When he saw several old people falling to the ground and screaming in pain, he laughed loudly and turned around on his horse.
When Xu Wen and Zhang Hao passed by on the wrong horse, he glanced at them and said, "But do you have any objections to what I did?" Xu Wen and Zhang Hao lowered their heads and said nothing.
"Hmph!" Yang Wo sneered and said, "I know you can't stand me. Since you say I'm not talented, why don't you kill me as a governor?"
When Xu Wen and Zhang Hao heard this, they dismounted and knelt on the ground, saying anxiously: "Your Highness has misunderstood. We have received great kindness from the late king, how can we fail the Yang family?"
Yang Wo's cold eyes turned around the two of them twice and said: "In the past few years, you two have repeatedly ruined my good deeds. You have advised me and stopped me. You have spent more money and robbed a few women."
"Are you going to kill a few old men who don't know what they are talking about? Are you bothered by God's advice? I will kill you sooner or later." The two of them kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Yang Wo didn't answer, and rode away with his whip raised.
After a long time, Xu Wen and Zhang Ying stood up. "What should I do?" Zhang Hao asked, his face turning pale.
Xu Wen pulled him aside and sighed, saying in a low voice: "We can't act rashly. Have you heard the news about the Shao thieves attacking the Bohai Kingdom?" Zhang Hao nodded and said: "Last year, the Khitan was defeated and this year, the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed.
, He Suye! The next one will probably be Huainan, right?"
"Nine times out of ten." Xu Wen looked sad and annoyed. He just heard him say: "If the towns in Hedong and Hebei were still there and someone restrained the Shao thieves, things would be simple. Yang Wo is not like a human master.
He also lost the heart of the elders, so he killed him, so what? But things are different now. There are soldiers and horses of Xia thieves in Huaibei. If Yang Wo is killed, people will be in turmoil, and how can they resist the surging Xia thieves?
"
Zhang Hao shook his head, but still was not willing to accept it, and said: "What if we just imprison him? Now that all military power is in Guangling, how many soldiers do the Yuancong veterans have? Besides, they look down on Yang Wo and have no good impression of him.
, if they only imprison but not kill Zhou Ben, and Qin Fei and others make a fuss, most people will still sit back and watch."
Xu Wen was a little moved, but after thinking for a long time, he still rejected it: "No, it is too risky. However, it is also good to make some preparations in advance." "How to prepare?" Zhang Hao asked.
"In the previous attack on Jiangxi, generals Zhu Sixing, Fan Sicong and Chen Fan suffered many defeats. It is better to find a way to make Yang Wo feel bad about them and drive out his own troops." Xu Wen said.
Zhu
Si Qing, Fan Sicong, and Chen Fan are Yang Wo's pro-army generals. Xu Wen and Zhang Hao cannot be controlled. It is better to use Yang Wo's mean and unkind character to drive these three people away and then slowly control the pro-army.
"What a great idea!" Zhang Hao said happily.
Xu Wen also smiled. This is only the first step. If successful, the next step is to transfer the east courtyard horse army from the city.
The Dongyuan Horse Army is Yang Wo's carefully selected warriors, and there are thousands of them. Having them in the city is a huge obstacle. Just a while ago, Yang Wo felt that the polo ground was not spacious enough, so he might as well persuade him to move the East Hospital Horse Army
He would be willing to agree if he was transferred out of the city and the military camp was used as a stadium.
"What should I do after taking control of Yang Wo?" Zhang Hao suddenly asked.
Xu Wen glanced at him and said: "First, in his name, we will kill the dissidents and firmly control all the government departments in our hands. Then we will take it one step at a time. I will surrender the Xia people."
Zhang Hao was startled and said in surprise: "Falling summer?"
"Now that things have happened, is there anything else we can do?" Xu Wen asked back: "The northern land has been unified, and there are only a few vassal towns left in the south. I don't think the Qian family in Hangzhou will be stubborn to the end. Once something cannot be done,
Qian Luo is very likely to surrender, as in the story of Zhao Kuang Ning. Wang Shenzhi of Fuzhou will probably follow Qian Luo's footsteps. Liu Yin of Guangzhou may feel that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he still wants to resist for a while, but he is weak and there are many people around him.
He is a close confidant of the Shaw family, so it is difficult to stick to the end. Ma Yin from Hunan may really resist, but to be honest, how long can he resist? Jingnan, Jiangxi, central Guizhou and even Lingnan West Road are surrounded on all sides, and it is difficult to stand alone. "
Zhang Ying pondered for a long time and had to admit that Xu Wen's words made sense. But he couldn't reconcile himself to the fall of summer. Xu Wen patted his shoulder and said: "I didn't say that summer will definitely fall. Let's go for a while."
Let’s take it one step at a time.”
"Yes." Zhang Hao nodded, thoughtfully.
