Da Song: Possessed by Overlord at the beginning

Chapter 64
Gao Qi was brave, open-minded and resourceful. He fought against the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom and won many times. Everyone called him the Daxiong King.

In the Taihang Mountains, digging for carbon, digging for carbon, and building city gates, without disturbing the people, has become a paradise in Hebei.

The Liangshan army's attack on the Taihang Mountains this time was no more difficult than the conquest of Fangla. The country was in danger but the people were attached to it, so virtuous people could use it. Moreover, Gao Qi was not a mediocre person. Song Jiang would need to spend a lot of effort to win.

Besides, Chao Tian can be said to be full of ambitions all the way, and he can really let go to do it after breaking away from the Liangshan army.

Chao's army has now become the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and the road is unimpeded. There are tens of thousands of troops, and even the bandits who occupy the mountain as king on the road have to stay away.

Without a word, he came to Dengzhou Prefecture on this day.

When Chao Tian arrived outside the city of Dengzhou, Gao Cheng, the prefect of Dengzhou, had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. When he saw Chao's army and horses, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"My subordinate, Gao Cheng, the prefect of Dengzhou Prefecture, leads the civil and military officials of Dengzhou Prefecture to meet Commander Chao!"

Gao Cheng came forward and bowed to Chao Tian who was on the horse.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling man.

Chao Tian got off his horse, helped Gao Cheng up, and said, "Master Gao is too polite. Chao Tian is new here and is not familiar with the affairs of Dengzhou. There are some things that need Mr. Gao's help."

Hearing Chao Tian's words, Gao Cheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, it seems that the Penglai Jiedu envoy is not that tempered, and he is still easy to talk.

"If your lord has a mission, the next official will definitely spare no effort."

"The lower officials have already set up a banquet in the Penglai Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Dengzhou City. The patriarchs of the major families in the city, officials big and small, and merchants and wealthy households have all been waiting for a long time, just to cleanse the adults."

Immediately, Gao Cheng bowed his hands to Chao Tian again, and said with a smile.

Hearing Gao Cheng's words, Chao Tian nodded. He would inevitably have a good relationship with them in the future, so he might as well take this opportunity to meet these prominent figures in Dengzhou City.

Immediately, Chao Tian arranged the army and horses, and brought Li Yuanfang and Liu Bowen to Penglai Restaurant following Dengzhou prefect Gao Cheng.

Penglai Restaurant has been booked today, and the whole hall is full of prominent people from Dengzhou City. When everyone saw Chao Tian walk in, they all bowed and greeted each other.

Chao Tian also went back to the camp one by one. During the banquet, there was no need to go into details. Through this meal, Chao Tian also had a general understanding of these prominent people in Dengzhou City.

Back at the Jiedushi's Mansion, which had been prepared long ago, Chao Tian read the report on the situation in Dengzhou City that Jin Yiwei had been spying on a few days ago.

There are 3000 troops in the local army in Dengzhou City, but in fact there are only [-] old, weak, sick and disabled, and the rest are all paid for.

The navy has a staff of 1000 and [-] warships, but in fact the navy also has more than [-] people and five or six warships, all of which are shabby and about to be eliminated. The dirty officials are greedy for money.

Gao Cheng, the prefect of Dengzhou, has a very bad reputation in Dengzhou, and is called "Three Chisao" by the people.

It shows that Gao Cheng searched Dengzhou for people's fat and people's ointment, and searched all the land in Dengzhou to sink three feet, and the ground sank three feet, so it was three feet higher that day.

The rest of the officials are also guarding each other, corrupt and perverting the law, and the three major families in Dengzhou City, Gao, Wang, and Zheng, are also all kinds of bullies.

It can be said that the entire Dengzhou is rotten to the bone.

Looking at the tragedies of human life in Jin Yiwei's report, Chao Tian couldn't help being furious, gritted his teeth, and was filled with anger.

With such officials, it is inevitable that the people will live in dire straits, the wine and meat of the wealthy families are stinky, the roads are frozen to death, the court is incompetent, the officials pervert the law, and the world is chaotic. In the end, it is the common people who suffer.

Immediately, Chao Tianbian's general advisor Liu Bowen, general Lu Minzhong, Zu Shiyuan, Xu Da, and Li Yuanfang called to his study late at night.

Not long after, several people arrived one after another, and when they were all present, Chao Tian shared the thick stack of information in his hands with everyone.

Several people watched it carefully for a long time, and when they finished reading it all, they were all very angry. They didn't expect that Dengzhou had become so rotten.

"We want to take root in Dengzhou. These people are stumbling blocks. If we don't get rid of them, Dengzhou will never have peace. Do you have any good ideas?"

Chao Tian said categorically, Chao Tian's intention was very firm, that is to bring to justice the corrupt officials, landlords and bullies who oppressed the common people and corrupted the law.

"My lord, Gao Cheng and the others are powerful and deeply entrenched in Dengzhou. It is more difficult to move them down, so we can only use lightning speed to cover our ears, and before they react, we will quickly cut through the mess and wipe them out." The military adviser said. Liu Bowen was the first to speak.

"The military adviser is right. Gao Cheng is the head of the Gao family in Dengzhou. According to the information above, Gao Yunfei, Gao Cheng's son, bullies men and women and commits all kinds of crimes. We should use this person as a breakthrough." General Lu echoed.

With the advice of two counselors, Lou Minzhong, Zu Shiyuan, and Xu Da all joined in. Although it is said that it is more dangerous to cut the mess quickly, but there is not much time for them, and this is the best one right now. Method.

Immediately, Chao Tian asked Xu Da to lead the Chao family army to fully cooperate with the military adviser Liu Bowen, and Li Yuanfang's brocade guards closely monitored everyone in the intelligence, and they must wait until the time of action, and all of them will be caught.

Early the next morning, Chao Tian ordered people to summon all the civil and military officials of Dengzhou City to the lobby of the prefect's mansion.

Chao Tian led his military advisers Liu Bowen, Li Yuanfang, Niu Gao, Li Yuanba and Liu Tang to surround the prefect's mansion, and replaced them with Jinyiwei inside and out.

At the same time, Xu Da led Gao Chong, Lin Chong, Shi Jin, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Liu Yun to take over the barracks and city defense by force.

Zheng Chenggong led the three heroes of the Ruan family, the four masters of Taihu Lake, and the navy to take over the navy barracks and Dengzhou ferry terminal.

Chao's army was so quick that they took over all the city defenses in Dengzhou, and the original Dengzhou defenders were caught off guard. Even if they wanted to resist, the old, weak, sick, disabled, and mobs would panic when they saw the fierce appearance of Chao's army. up.

Above the lobby of Dengzhou Taishou Mansion.

Chao Tian was dressed in a general's official uniform and sat behind the book table with a big horse golden knife, with military advisor Liu Bowen standing next to him, Li Yuanfang and Niu Gao on the left, Li Yuanba and Shan Xiongxin on the right.

After receiving the news, the officials of Dengzhou City who came to the lobby one after another, seeing such a posture, were all terrified and stood there silently.

From morning until noon, the prefect Gao Cheng ran over in a panic with disheveled clothes.

Last night, he went to the brothel to look for his concubine, and only now got up from the bed. After receiving Chao Tian's news, he ran over in a hurry, but it was still too late.
