Chapter 1085: Youzhou Rebellion (3)


After hearing the commotion, Li Huaixian rushed out of the backyard wearing obscene clothes and holding a crescent halberd.

He saw brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Tao leading troops to massacre their own soldiers.

He immediately pointed his crescent halberd at Zhu Si and shouted: "Zhu Si, Zhu Tao, you guys You are so brave, do you want to rebel?"

Zhu Si's face was ferocious: "Li Huaixian, you are extremely greedy and cruel.

My brothers in the army have been disappointed with you for a long time.

Today is the day you die.

Brothers, come with me to kill Li Huaixian."

"Kill!"

The soldiers started fighting each other again.

Brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Tao also fought with Li Huaixian, and they were inextricably killed.

But it was said that Zhu Xicai invited Li Baozhong to have a drink at home.

Li Baozhong didn't know what was going on.

He was usually a heavy drinker, but he came late this time.

Zhu Xicai had to wait for two hours before Li Baozhong came over. .

This Li Baozhong is very playful.

When drinking, he must not only have good wine and food, but also be accompanied by beautiful women.

One beautiful woman is not enough.

There must be at least seven around him to accompany him to drink and have fun.

Zhu Xicai almost lost her My wife was also sent up, and with great difficulty we managed to gather seven beauties.

The situation was somewhat beyond Zhu Xicai's expectations.

He did not expect that Li Baozhong had an extraordinary drinking capacity and a different body than ordinary people.

The more he drank, the more energetic he became.

He was sweating profusely.

Not only his clothes were soaked with sweat, but also his boots.

It was all water.

In order to drink, this guy even prepared a few sets of clothes for himself.

When he got soaked, he asked the beauty next to him to undress and take off his clothes on the spot.

He was not ashamed at all.

During the banquet, Zhu Xicai wanted to recruit soldiers to kill Li Baozhong, but Li Baozhong was extremely energetic and showed no signs of fatigue.

Moreover, he was accompanied by several soldiers who were highly skilled in martial arts.

There were also some soldiers waiting outside the gate of the mansion.

These people Everyone was extremely vigilant, and Zhu Xicai couldn't find any chance to take action.

It was like this for a whole night, and when it was almost the time of the people, Li Baozhong became tired and couldn't hold on any longer.

At this time, several soldiers around him began to feel drowsy and lacked concentration.

Zhu Xicai then had the opportunity and immediately signaled his men to take action, so several strong bows were aimed at Li Baozhong and fired randomly.

Li Baozhong never expected that he would be plotted at this time.

He was unprepared and was shot into a hedgehog on the spot.

Zhu Xicai immediately drew He used weapons to kill several of his soldiers one by one, and then quickly led the soldiers to the Jiedushi Mansion Office to support brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Tao.

In the Jiedushi Mansion, the battle had been going on all night, and corpses were scattered everywhere.

Almost all of the troops brought by the two brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Tao were dead, and there were not many of Li Huaixian's men left, and they were all seriously injured.

The two brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Tao faced off with Li Huaixian, both covered in blood.

They fought and fought all night long.

In fact, Zhu Xicai still underestimated Li Huaixian's martial arts.

The two brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Tao combined Weaker than Li Huaixian, the two At the beginning, they could still fight Li Huaixian, but as time went on, the two brothers couldn't hold on anymore and were injured frequently.

If Zhu Tao hadn't been clever and used the wandering fighting method to pester Li Huaixian to delay time, I'm afraid the brothers would have The two of them had been killed by Li Huaixian a long time ago.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, but before Li Huaixian was killed, Zhu Si began to be frightened.

He couldn't help crying and said to his younger brother Zhu Tao: "Brother, it's almost dawn.

Zhu Xicai hasn't come yet.

I'm afraid something has happened.

This matter If it doesn’t work, let’s run away quickly.”

Zhu Tao said bitterly: "Brother, if this plan fails, we will only die.

Where can we escape?

Now we can only fight hard.

If we win, everything will be fine.

If we lose, we will go to see the Lord of Hell together.

Eighteen years later Be a good man again” Opposite Li Huaixian heard the conversation between the two brothers and couldn't help but smile cruelly: "You two bastards are trying to kill me, Li Huaixian.

When I, Li Huaixian, were galloping on the battlefield, your brothers were still wearing open crotch pants and playing in the mud.

I tell you, today you brothers You are dead, I will cut you to pieces with a thousand knives and make your skin into a lantern and hang it at the gate."

At this time, a voice came in from outside: "Li Huaixian, if you want to kill my brother, you have to ask the guy in our hands if he agrees."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Xicai rushing in with a long-handled sword and a group of soldiers.

Li Huaixian and some of his soldiers surrounded him.

Li Huaixian looked at Zhu Xicai and said angrily: "Zhu Xicai, I trust you to be the military envoy of Youzhou, to command thousands of troops, and to be respected.

I am not kind to you.

You actually want to rebel against me and your conscience will be eaten by a dog."

"Hahaha, you are not mean to me," Zhu Xicai laughed angrily, "I, Zhu Xicai, have gone through life and death for you time and time again to protect you from disasters.

Several times, I diverted the enemy's pursuers to help you escape from death, but you think this is Of course, we just made a little fortune, and you just saw it Hong, envy, jealousy, hatred, snatched away from us alive, you don't treat us as human beings at all.

Since you are unkind, don't blame me, Zhu Xicai, for being unjust to you.

Today is the time to settle the accounts between us, brothers, follow Let's go together and kill Li Huaixian, and we will be rewarded heavily."

"You" Li Huaixian had no time to speak, so he could only accept the challenge hastily, but he had already fought with brothers Zhu Si and Zhu Tao all night, and he had no strength for a long time.

After being surrounded by Zhu Xicai and the soldiers, he died in only a dozen rounds.

Under Zhu Xicai's knife, Zhu Xicai cut off his head with a knife, held it in his hand and shouted: "Li Huaixian is dead.

From now on, we will make the decision in Lulong, Youzhou."

Zhu Si, Zhu Tao and others all bowed down one after another: "I ask the general to stay for the Lulong Festival in Youzhou and have full authority to preside over the military and political affairs of Youzhou and Lulong.

Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed by us."

Zhu Xicai laughed: "Hahaha, okay, since all the generals unanimously recommended me as Youzhou and Lu Longliu, I reluctantly agreed.

Now the general will appoint Jiedu deputy envoy, Zhu Si as Youzhou military envoy, and Zhu Tao as his relative."

The commander-in-chief of the army, Liu Daoqian, and other generals and school officials who joined the army for the purpose of recording the affairs were each given a reward."

The generals and school officials who had been promoted and made fortune were overjoyed and expressed their loyalty to Zhu Xicai.

After Zhu Xicai took office as the governor of Youzhou and Lulong, he began to act arbitrarily.

His soldiers could not bear the abuse, and they all had dissatisfaction.

The first person who was dissatisfied with him was Li Yuan, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, who was instigated by Liu Daoqian.

He began to instigate other generals to be dissatisfied with Zhu Xicai.

They jointly launched a mutiny and killed Zhu Xicai on August 29.

Zhu Xicai was killed by his subordinates just one month after he became the boss.

At this time, Zhang Zhongzhi led a large number of troops to fight back to Fanyang from the south.

Li Yuan and Zhu Si brothers joined forces to kill Zhang Zhongzhi.

Later, Li Yuan and Zhu Si The Si brothers fought each other, and the situation in Youzhou and Lulong began to become chaotic.

Youzhou and Lulong lost their masters for a while, and the leading generals supported their own troops and attacked each other.

The second day of September, Chang'an.

At yesterday's court meeting, Zhao Ziliang determined the major policy of counterinsurgency and chaos at the same time.

The pace of counterinsurgency cannot be stopped.

The main target of the next vassal reduction is not the three towns of Heshuo.

These three towns are one.

Once one of them is attacked, One, the other two will definitely save each other, so Zhao Ziliang decided to cut down the vassalage of Qingzhou first, that is, Li Na, the governor of Ziqing.

The counter-rebellion army was divided into two.

Zang Xiyan commanded the Shence Army, the Zhenguo Army, and the Huainan Army.

A total of 100,000 troops were stationed on both sides of the Yellow River to create pressure on Wei Bo's military envoy Tian Yue.

The army maintains grain roads and transports grain and military supplies; the other army consists of generals from the Western Qin Dynasty Commander-in-chief Li Sheng, under the command of the Third Army of the Western Qin Dynasty, has 15,000 elite cavalry, left and right heroic guards, left and right leading guards, and supplementary corps, a total of 115,000 troops, marching eastward from Bianzhou.

The Huaixi Army has been reorganized Together with the Dengzhou Army, a total of 50,000 troops are prepared as reserve reinforcements to go to Qingzhou for reinforcements at any time.

While countering rebellion, we must also control chaos at the same time.

The fight against chaos includes many aspects: First, rectify the administration of officials, vigorously deal with corruption, selling off officials, forming cliques for personal gain, violating the law and other unhealthy phenomena in official circles, and reward those who are honest, hard-working, and dedicated to serving the country.

An official requested by the people The second is to gradually return the military power of military governors, prefects, and vassal kings to the central court, reorganize and train soldiers and horses in various places, eliminate the old and weak, and leave the strong ones.

The military commanders, deputy generals, and supervisors will be appointed by the court; The third is to vigorously crack down on bandits and strongmen in various places. thieves and bandits, and clarify the local security situation; fourth, encourage business exchanges, formulate special laws to deal with disputes arising from business exchanges, and crack down on illegal traders; fifth, encourage farming, conduct inventory statistics of acres across the country, in order to To prevent the further expansion and deterioration of land annexation, a law was enacted that no matter who it is, each household's farmland shall not exceed 3,000 acres at most, and the excess must be sold.

If no one buys it within three months, the government will automatically take it back and allocate these acres to Landless peasants.

For those fields that have owners but are abandoned, they are deemed to have automatically given up their ownership, and whoever clears the wasteland will get it.

Sixth, allocate special funds to organize the government and the people to clean up rivers, strengthen river embankments, build water conservancy projects, dredge ditches, and increase irrigation.

All of this requires huge expenditures, and the amount required for each item is not a small amount.

If done at the same time, it will undoubtedly bring a heavy burden to the court's finances, but Zhao Ziliang understands that when any dynasty is about to perish, not only Not only did those in power lose popular support, but they also became financially bankrupt.

In other words, in layman's terms, the imperial court has no money to pay for the expenses of the army and the various government offices.

If you don't have money, who will work for you and who won't eat, you just want to break the law.

Without money, the army will have no combat power, and the generals and soldiers will not die in service. .

There are many reasons why the court has no money.

One is that taxes have been reduced, or the war has caused production and trade to stagnate, so tax collection cannot be raised.

The other is that there is tax revenue, but it is withheld by the officials below.

There is only a drop in the bucket; third, a large number of land annexations have put the world's fields in the hands of a few people, and these people are either relatives of the emperor, nobles, or powerful officials.

These people themselves do not have to pay taxes:
