Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"That's not true. After Cao Cheng finished robbing the Hongzhou area, he quickly went south. The people's livelihood outside Hongzhou City was in chaos, and these people were also in chaos!"

When Zhang Xian said this, he was quite sad.

Where the hell are the rebels, this is clearly a disaster victim.

Yue Fei asked one of the youths: "Why do you want to rebel?"

The young man looked at so many cavalrymen and said timidly: "There is no way, Shangguan! There was a flood this summer, the crops were flooded, and the land rent was too high! There is no way to survive. Some time ago, a group of people robbed the whole area. Those of us just wanted to eat, so we joined, we really didn’t do anything harmful, we just moved the food from the landlord’s house and ate some!”

Another wailed, "Yeah! We're just eating!"

Wang Chang immediately reprimanded: "You bastard, you're talking nonsense! Rebellion is rebellion! You dare to quibble, come and arrest these rebels!"

Zhang Xian lashed out with a whip, causing the servant to back up a few steps.

Zhang Xian said: "Yue Shuai is here and hasn't spoken yet, how dare you mess around?"

Several landlords quickly said: "Yue Shuai, you can't let these people go, these are the heinous traitors!"

Wang Chang also said: "Yue Shuai, these people are rebels and should be executed immediately!"

Yue Fei gave Wang Chang a cold look, and said, "How did you become a parent official? There was a disaster here, and the victims had no food to eat, yet you sat in the yamen and feasted on fish and meat?"

"I……"

Yue Fei said: "You don't have to argue anymore, this is your fault!"

"Your officer is really wronged!"

"Whether you were wronged or not is up to the court to decide. Right now, I have a plan to appease the victims."

Wang Chang asked curiously, "I wonder what Yue Shuai has in mind?"

Yue Fei pointed to those officials and landlords and said, "Take out all the grain from your homes and distribute it to them!"

As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed.

"Yue Shuai! Absolutely not! Isn't this just..."

"what is this!"

"This is helping the rebels!"

"Are they rebels! They are the people of Song Dynasty!"

"Yue Shuai, the food is ours, why should we help these troublemakers!" a landlord said loudly.

"Yue Shuai's order, there is no doubt, come here, drag this person down and chop him up!" Zhang Xian roared, and immediately two martial arts soldiers came over and dragged the landlord aside.

Before he could yell, the knife went down, and the head rolled into the mud on the ground, and the blood spilled all over the ground.

The rest of the people turned pale with fright.

Wang Chang said: "Yue Shuai, this is not under your jurisdiction, how dare you kill people at will!"

"This commander has an edict from the Son of Heaven, this person is disrespectful!" Yue Fei said.

Now everyone is afraid to speak.

Zhang Xian took people to the homes of these landlords to move food, and the victims also went with them.

Yue Fei sighed, looked around, but couldn't see anything alive.

In the distance, some people were pushing corpses on carts, and there was a little girl begging on the side of the road for rich people to buy her so that she could buy a coffin for her parents.

But I heard that there is a place to distribute food, so I followed suit.

Seeing this, Yue Fei and the others couldn't help but be moved.

"Yue Shuai, this Jiangnan West Road is famously affluent. Logically speaking, it should be much better than the war-torn north, but the people here are worse than those in Hebei."

Yue Fei lamented: "Sometimes it's not just wars that cannibalize people, but also officials and gentry!"

"What should we do now? It's so chaotic here. Are we going to keep forcing those officials and gentry to release food here?"

Yue Fei said firmly: "We are here to quell the chaos. What we should do is to quell the chaos as soon as possible. As for how to govern, the imperial court will find a way."

Chapter 540 Capture Yang Zaixing (third update)

Then Wang Chang said: "Yue Shuai, aren't you afraid that the next official will impeach you?"

Yue Fei glanced at him and said, "Go ahead and impeach."

Wang Chang shouted loudly: "Your subordinate must impeach you! The border marshal interferes in internal affairs. This is treason! The princes of the court will not let you go!"

Yue Fei only stopped in Jiangzhou for a short time before heading south quickly.

By July 26, Yue Fei's troops arrived at Linjiang Army.

At this time, Yue Fei received the news that Cao Cheng had captured Qingjiang County, the seat of the Linjiang Army.

And Cao Cheng's troops were divided into three groups to search for money and food in the Linjiang army.

This battle is not difficult, as long as Qingjiang is taken back and Cao Cheng is beheaded, the rebels can be scattered like birds and beasts.

That afternoon, Yue Fei ordered people to start casting the ladder.

The Qingjiang county seat is only over three meters high, so it is not difficult to take it down.

At this time, Cao Cheng obviously knew that the imperial soldiers were coming, so he called all the people to discuss the matter.

Cao Cheng said: "Multiple news, the court soldiers are coming!"

His general Zhang Jing said: "Cao Shuai, we came all the way down, and the officers and soldiers of the court fled watching the wind, so why not be afraid!"

Cao Cheng said: "The soldiers and horses along the way may be different. The scouts found a lot of horseshoes."

Everyone was a little surprised, Zhang Jing said: "Could it be that the cavalry came?"

Cao Cheng said: "There are no cavalry in the south, and the cavalry are all in the northern frontier, so the cavalry from the frontier army may come!"

"I heard that today's cavalry belongs to Yue Fei's Shenwu Army, which is the strongest. Last year, Liu Yu's [-] troops were defeated in Hebei."

It was a young man who spoke, tall and tall, with a deep and powerful voice, and sharp eyes.

"You mean, it's the Shenwu Army who came this time!" Cao Cheng looked a little dignified.

"It's very possible. If it's the Shenwu Army, our army has little chance of winning."

Zhang Jing said with a disdainful smile: "Yang Zaixing, don't let others' ambition destroy your prestige!"

Cao Cheng said: "The situation in the north is tense now, it is impossible for the main force of the Shenwu Army to go south at this time, and some of them may come."

Zhang Jing said: "Even if Yue Fei comes, it's nothing more than that. If he dares to come, I will take his head!"

Cao Cheng said: "The court soldiers must have known that we are in Qingjiang County, and they will attack soon. Yang Zaixing, if you let you defend, what are your chances of winning?"

Yang Zaixing was about to speak when Zhang Jing immediately interrupted: "Cao Shuai, didn't you hear what he said just now? Our chances of winning are not high."

Yang Zaixing said: "Cao Shuai, we should go south immediately and enter Lingnan. The imperial court's control over Lingnan is a little weak. We are guarding Shaoguan in Lingnan. The military is tense in the north of the imperial court. It is impossible to send elites south to Lingnan. That is where we should go."

"Lingnan is a land where birds don't shit!" Zhang Jing took the words, "I'm going to go by myself!"

"Shuai Cao..."

Cao Cheng said, "Zhang Jing, what are your chances of winning if you are allowed to defend the city?"

Zhang Jing stood up and said calmly: "I promise to repel those dog officers and soldiers of the imperial court and kill their generals. If Yue Fei himself comes, we will kill them together!"

"Okay! You will defend the city!"

On July [-]th, Yue Fei's three groups gathered outside Qingjiang County and approached Qingjiang.

He sent people to persuade him to surrender.

Zhang Jing saw the banner of the Shenwu Army on the top of the city, and laughed loudly: "It really is the Shenwu Army. I wonder if Yue Fei will come?"

Zhang Xian shouted loudly: "Since we know that Yue Shuai's soldiers are coming, why not open the city and surrender!"

Zhang Jing laughed wildly: "If you have the ability to attack the city, I will let you wait for it today!"

Zhang Xian said: "Yue Shuai, these bandits seem to be quite confident. If so, let's attack the city directly!"

Yue Fei checked his surroundings, and the surrounding main roads had naturally been fortified.

"Siege!"

Teams of crossbowmen immediately lined up at the front, neatly.

Dutou shouted loudly: "Fire the arrow!"

Immediately, a dense rain of arrows rose into the sky and flew towards the city.

More than a dozen people were shot to death on the spot, and the rest either lay on the ground or hid behind the tower.

The crossbow arrows even flew over the top of the city, flew into the city, and were nailed to wooden posts.

More than a dozen rebels in the city were also shot dead on the spot.

The effect of this crossbow was beyond the expectations of all the rebels. Zhang Jing even rolled and crawled on the ground and shouted: "Block me! Quick! Block me!"

After a few waves of arrow rain were suppressed, the crossbowmen also stopped, the horns of the Shenwu Army sounded, and the Vanguard Battalion began to charge with the ladder.

Dozens of ladders were built on the city wall, which was only three meters long, and the Shenwu army began to climb up quickly.

The first one to climb up was Zhang Fan, the head of the third capital of the first battalion. He waved the knife in his hand and pierced the heart of the rebel in front. He shouted, and the rest followed suit and quickly occupied the top of the city. .

It was only an instant later that Cao Chengcheng received the news that the city had fallen.

"What!" Cao Cheng was shocked, "Zhang Jing misunderstood me!"

He took his men and horses and immediately went out through the south gate.

"Yang Zaixing, I'm listening to you now, go south to Lingnan!"

Cao Cheng had only walked two miles out of the city with his personal soldiers, but was stopped by a group of Shenwu troops.

Yang Zaixing shouted loudly: "Cao Shuai, you go first, the last one will end!"

Yang Zaixing carried a spear, rode on a horse, and rushed forward with his men.

Cao Cheng fled quickly.

It was Han Shunfu, the commander of the third battalion who stopped Cao Cheng on this way. He was brave and good at fighting, and he was extremely capable of fighting.

I saw that Han Shunfu was holding a long gun, and led a group of people to kill him.

After only a few rounds, all the people under Yang Zaixing's command fled.

However, Yang Zaixing was still fighting with a gun.

Not only that, more than a dozen soldiers of the Shenwu Army have been picked off by him.

Then Han Shunfu was stabbed in the shoulder by him. If it wasn't for the armor protection, Han Shunfu's shoulder would have been pierced.

Even so, Han Shunfu was also knocked off his horse by a huge force.

Yang Zaixing is invincible in the Shenwu Army!

You know, the Shenwu Army is the elite of the elite!

However, no matter how brave this Yang Zaixing was, after all he was alone, after half an hour of hard fighting, he was captured.

At this time, the rebels in Qingjiang County had dispersed.

In the evening, Yang Zaixing was brought before Yue Fei.

"Yue Shuai, this is the person who injured Han Shunfu!" Zhang Xian said, this person is Cao Cheng's confidant, he must know Cao Cheng's whereabouts! "

Yang Zaixing was stunned for a moment, and said, "Shuai Yue? Could it be that Your Excellency is..."

"Let's be honest, this is Yue Shuai, the envoy of Hebei West Road!"

"I've heard about Yue Shuai's reputation for a long time, and I'm lucky to meet you today!"

Zhang Xian said: "Hey, I said this guy is pretty good at making friends, you are a traitor! Now we ask questions, you answer!"

Yue Fei took the words: "What's your name?"

"My name is Yang Zaixing!"

Yue Fei saw that this man was extraordinary, so he couldn't help asking: "You alone wounded 28 soldiers of our army, including Han Shunfu?"

Chapter 541 Changes in the Kingdom of Jin? (first update)

Yang Zaixing said: "That's right, it's me! If you want to kill or cut into pieces, it's up to you!"

Zhang Xian drew out his knife and said coldly, "I'll kill you now!"
