Liu She did not expect that Sun Xiang would be so good at fighting and capable, nor did he expect that the people under his command would be so useless that they could not even deal with a single commander of the army. As a result, Prince Zhao's palace was surrounded.
Liu She was frightened and angry. After a period of panic, he calmed down and asked Zhao Guoxiang Fu Qian to solve the problem and ask Fu Qian to give him an explanation.
He thought that Fu Qian could solve Sun Xiang's problem, but Fu Qian actually said that he did not have the authority to command the commander-in-chief of the country's troops. The power to command the commander-in-chief's troops came from the court, not from him.
Therefore, although Fu Qian was not satisfied with Sun Xiang's "offensive act", he could not order Sun Xiang to lift the siege of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Of course, Liu She could not accept this statement, and was extremely angry at Sun Xiang's offensive behavior. He sent people many times to try to break out of the encirclement and attack Sun Xiang's men.
Of course, Sun Xiang was not a soft persimmon. He launched a defensive counterattack and warned Liu She many times, telling him that he was Liu Bei's subordinate, not Liu She's subordinate. If Liu She continued to do such things, he would be forced to fight back.
.
Liu She didn't believe that he dared to take action, so he provoked him many times. As a result, Sun Xiang actually launched a counterattack. He also "brazenly" launched several feint attacks on Prince Zhao's Mansion, which scared Liu She and the family members in Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Liu She was very angry about this. He sent people out many times to insult and threaten Sun Xiang, saying that Sun Xiang had offended the royal family and wanted to kill Liu Bei. Sun Xiang's three clans would be exterminated and his whole family would be killed.
Kneel down in front of me and lick your shoes to beg for mercy.
However, Liu She's words could not shake Sun Xiang's will. Sun Xiang continued to maintain the siege of Prince Zhao's Mansion, while resisting the attack of the rebels outside the city. He worked hard and persisted until Xu Huang arrived, and until the Zhao rebels were annihilated, and
The masterminds behind the scenes enjoy the fun of eliminating the three clans.
There is no doubt that Sun Xiang became the final winner. Xu Huang was very satisfied with Sun Xiang's persistence and was ready to give him a great credit.
As for Fu Qian's insignificant role in this matter, Xu Huang has nothing to say. Fu Qian must have derelict in his duties, but it is not dereliction of duty, so how to deal with him depends on Liu Bei's decision.
As for Zhao Wang Liu She, Xu Huang felt that there was nothing more to say.
According to his understanding of Liu Bei, it is a high probability event that the three clans will disappear. The prince's participation in the rebellion is a fatal matter in any dynasty. Although the prince is usually honorable, he cannot involve the imperial power. Once it is involved,
Once you reach the imperial power, you will definitely be hit hard by the emperor's thunderous punch.
When Xu Huang arrived at Prince Zhao's Mansion, the Zhao State Military Division was still maintaining a physical blockade of Prince Zhao's Mansion. No one in Prince Zhao's Mansion was allowed to go out these days, except for the manpower specially selected by Sun Xiang to deliver water, food and rice fields.
You can go in and out, but you will be strictly searched when you go in and out to ensure that no contact can be made between inside and outside the house.
Seeing such a blockade, Xu Huang was very satisfied and patted Sun Xiang on the shoulder to express his praise.
Later, Xu Huang entered Prince Zhao's Mansion, fully armed, wearing a helmet and armor, and accompanied by powerful guards. He entered Prince Zhao's Mansion with a very strong attitude, like a conqueror rather than a minister.
Some servants from Prince Zhao's Mansion stepped forward to stop him. Xu Huang's eyes widened, and these servants were beaten so hard by the guards around them that they lost consciousness. Seeing this, the others turned pale and did not dare to take any action.
King Zhao Liushe was furious when he heard the news, and soon came to Xu Huang. Seeing Xu Huang commanding his subordinates to beat people in his house, and beating his slaves to such a miserable state, he was very angry and pointed at Xu Huang.
Akira cursed loudly.
"What is your identity? How dare you commit murder in my house?! I am a member of the Han clan! King Zhao! How dare you offend me like this? Do you know the consequences of offending me?"
Xu Huang glared at Liu She.
"I don't know the consequences of offending the king, because this is the first time, but I know the consequences of rebellion, because this is not the first traitor to die in my hands."
Liu She's expression froze, and a look of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Nonsense! Full of nonsense! What kind of rebellion and rebellion? I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty, the king of the clan, and the most important clan member! How could I possibly rebel and rebel?!"
"With all the witnesses and material evidence, what else do you have to argue with?"
Xu Huang sneered and said: "The people who attacked the city gate were your men, and they used the special weapons of your house. This is clear evidence. It is also your responsibility to break the sky! Your Majesty, although I am a minister
, but for those who rebel and cause chaos, everyone in the world will punish them! How can there be any direct difference between the king and the common people? They are all rebels!"
"Nonsense! I have never done anything like that! Someone did it behind my back! I am innocent! I want to see His Majesty the Emperor! I want to redress my grievance! This matter has nothing to do with me! You slander me!
I'll make you pay!"
Liu She suppressed the fear in his heart and tried his best to refute what Xu Huang said, obviously unwilling to admit it.
Xu Huang could only sneer at this.
"It's useless to tell you. Your Majesty is the one who will judge you, not me. It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What matters is whether your Majesty believes it. Don't talk about anything else. After your Majesty learns about this, let's see if he
How to deal with it, but now, Your Majesty, you are in trouble."
Xu Huang waved his hand, and the guards around him swarmed forward, pinned Liu She to the ground and tied him up.
"Xu Huang! Do you dare to arrest me? Do you dare to offend me? I will kill your three tribes! Kill your three tribes!!!"
Liu She was frightened and furious, shouting and cursing, and resisted with all his strength. His family, retainers and slaves were also frightened, and they all stepped forward to try to help him out.
Xu Huang was furious, drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed at the visitor and said angrily: "If you go any further, don't blame me for being rude! King Zhao is suspected of treason, and so are you! There are suspicions of accomplices! Right and left!
Take them all with me! Don’t let anyone go!"
"only!"
The guards around Xu Huang rushed out and captured all of Liu She's family members, retainers, and servants. After a flurry of excitement, more than 300 Liu She's wives, concubines, children, relatives in the mansion, retainers, etc. were all killed.
They were caught, and they were all tied up, and no one was left behind.
Prince Zhao's Mansion was wiped out by Xu Huang, and no one was left. It ended cleanly.
Later, Xu Huang ordered his officers to lead a group of elite soldiers to quickly escort these people to Luoyang and hand them over to Liu Bei for interrogation.
After he rectified the chaos in Handan City, he sent troops to recover Yiyang County, which was captured by the rebels. Then he organized his troops and joined the soldiers of Changshan and Zhao who were going south, leading more than 13,000 people.
After a slight correction, the troops marched eastward and entered Julu County.
Julu County was the hardest hit area by the Yellow Turban Uprising. The local wealthy families and large landowners were destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army, and were repeatedly destroyed by the old Han army who suppressed the rebellion. After the post-disaster reconstruction, Julu County became a
The county is relatively clean and harmonious, with little internal conflicts and no disputes. The survivors and immigrants are working hard to cultivate the land and live a good life.
Therefore, since the development of Julu County, it lacks some powerful local wealthy families, but it has many collective farms, and the government's decrees are very popular here.
The imperial court's land transfer order scratches an itch for most people in Julu County. It will not hurt them, but will bring them some benefits. Therefore, Julu County is relatively stable overall, only in Pingxiang County.
A rebel army appeared, numbering six to seven thousand people. Xu Huang sent cavalry to attack and quickly eliminated them.
The next highlight is in Ganling Kingdom and Bohai County.
Ganling Kingdom and Bohai County were also the hardest hit areas during the war between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei. However, because most of the wealthy families did not think highly of Yuan Shao at that time, they did not seek refuge with Yuan Shao, thus preserving their respective strengths and not being liquidated after the war.
As Liu Bei stabilized the place, they quickly restored their original status.
Therefore, after most of the powerful clans fell silent for a while, they quickly restored their original power. In recent years, with the stability of the world, their power has even developed significantly.
Moreover, after the war, Ganling Kingdom and Bohai County were divided by Liu Bei to the eunuch group and the conservatives of the ancient literature school at the time out of necessity to win over them after the war. Liu Bei did not interfere in these two places, and even the administrative officials were not his own.
The administrative officials of these two counties were all members of the Ancient Literature School and the Eunuch Group at that time. Including the entire southern Jizhou, most of them were within the sphere of influence of the Ancient Literature School and the Eunuch Group. Therefore, in various senses, these places could belong to
Insect Base Camp.
Since it is the base camp of insects, it is not strange for a bunch of insects to appear at critical moments and embarrass Liu Bei.
When the order to conquer the land was spread to these two places, it basically immediately stirred up a hornet's nest and caused the insects in both places to jump. Yiguan, the prime minister of Ganling, and Cai Yong, the governor of Bohai County, both belonged to the old school of officials, and they advocated a negotiation for
Lord, I didn't want to hurt everyone's harmony, so the two of them went to the local noble families to discuss it to see if the matter could be resolved peacefully.
It has to be said that there are some sensible people among the noble families in both places. They clearly understand that if they resist or use troops, they will be suppressed by Liu Bei's troops. Moreover, given the proficiency of Liu Bei's men in fighting, they will definitely be severely defeated by him.
, then the three clans were destroyed, the family was ruined, and it ended tragically.
During their internal discussions, they raised this possibility and believed that the only loss in accepting the Dutian Order was the economic loss, and they might even be compensated by Liu Bei at the political level for following them at the political level.
In other words, sending people south to Jiaozhou to open a family branch is not something that cannot be considered.
But if they refuse the land transfer order, they may face ruthless political and military attacks. They may not be able to survive it. Even if they did it during the reign of Emperor Guangwu, they would have to pay heavy losses.
, many people died for this, in exchange for Emperor Guangwu's compromise.
Now, if they can still pay so much, can they still get Liu Bei's compromise?
Although the risk was huge, because there was too much land and the taxes were too heavy, the insects couldn't bear this outcome, so most families chose to refuse the land transfer order, and united to rebel, using military force to directly attack Liu Bei.
Apply pressure.
Because the internal quarrels were too fierce, and some officials in the official families did not want to be enemies with Liu Bei, nor did they want to lose their official positions and futures, let alone take risks, they chose to leave the family after the fierce quarrels.
These officials even took the risk of being expelled from their ancestral home by their families to draw a clear line between themselves and the bad guys in the family. Some even took huge risks to inform officials and ask the chief executive to take action as soon as possible.
For example, Cai Yong received a tip from the officials of Bohai County and Meng Yuan, a member of the Meng family. He was shocked and notified Jiang Xian, the captain of the national army of Bohai County, and was able to arrange the south of Bohai County before the rebels took action.
The defense of Pi County successfully protected Nanpi County when the rebels attacked, and also defeated some rebel organizations in the city who tried to cooperate with the outside world.
Cai Yong had never experienced war, so he was still somewhat capable in handling government affairs, but when it came to military matters, he was really not good at it, and his military sensitivity was not good either, so he almost missed the mark.
Despite this, he was also old, but he did not flinch when faced with the dilemma of tens of thousands of rebels besieging the city.
Wearing his helmet, he climbed up the city tower to deliver hot meals to the soldiers, and beat drums to cheer against the rebels' attack. Several arrows passed by him but could not break his courage. He successfully demonstrated himself.
As the governor of a county, his courage and responsibility boosted morale and made a considerable contribution to this defensive battle.
The situation in Ganling Kingdom is a bit worse.
Like the situation in Zhao State, Ganling King Liu Zhong was also one of the princes who was deeply dissatisfied with Liu Bei's method of inheriting the throne and a series of policies. Because the rebellion in Ganling State was strong, everyone was willing to elect Liu Zhong as the leader, so Liu Zhong
Zhong decided to join the rebellion and lead everyone to resist Liu Bei.
But at first, Liu Zhong didn't want to reveal his identity, nor did he want to be regarded as a rebel so quickly, which would lead to Liu Bei's army crusade, so he hid his existence and wanted to wait for the situation to become clear before standing in front of the stage.
This decision confused the imperial power in Ganling, especially when Ganlin's Prime Minister Shi Yiguan went to report the news. Liu Zhong fully agreed and said that he would never be an enemy of the imperial court. Shi Yiguan was very happy and thought that he had left.
If you have such good luck, other governors, governors and ministers will be envious of you to death.
When the rebels attacked Ganling County, Liu Zhong did not take action immediately. Instead, he smartly waited for seven days. When the defenders in the city gradually became exhausted under the siege of the rebels, he chose to take action.
.
He dispatched the guards from the mansion to form a team and made a sudden attack, cooperating inside and outside, which eventually led to the loss of Ganling County.
It must be said that the Ganling Kingdom had bad luck. Wei Chang, the captain of the Ganling Kingdom's army, was seriously ill at the time. At the critical moment when the rebels were gathering to launch an attack, Wei Chang died of illness and was unable to fulfill his responsibilities.
The successor deputy Wang Ke took office in a hurry. There were too many things to deal with, and the defense layout was not strong. In addition, the rebels attacked for seven days, and the number of defenders in the city was not large. They consumed a lot of energy, so he was dispatched by Liu Zhong at the East Gate.
The team of dead soldiers succeeded in a sneak attack.
After the East City Gate was lost, rebels swarmed in. Wang Ke tried to lead his personal guards to counterattack the East City Gate. However, because there were too many rebels, Wang Ke was unable to fight. He had to abandon Ganling County and chose to break out and protect the city.
Shi Yiguan moved towards Ling County, trying to seek help from the south, and then counterattack Ganling.
However, all this happened so quickly that Xu Huang didn't even know it when he led his troops north to Jizhou.
By the time Liu Zhong suddenly rebelled, Xu Huang had already led his troops to attack Wei County.
And by the time Xu Huang learned about the incident in Ganling Kingdom, everything was settled on Ganling Kingdom's side.
Xu Huang was very annoyed, but he had no choice but to continue leading his troops in the direction of Ganling Kingdom, hoping that the situation would not become too bad when he arrived at Ganling Kingdom.

PS: I have always heard from my family that there is an ancestral shredded pork noodle shop nearby that is very delicious. I went to eat it this morning. Oh my god, it is really delicious. The noodles are very chewy, the soup is very fresh, and it is cheap. I just wish I didn’t discover this place earlier.
