Huan Rong

First Li Xun, then Tang Gongluo, raised troops one after another from the south and the north, and raised the banner of rebellion.The beacon fire was ignited again, and the north and the south echoed, and it gradually became a prairie fire.

According to Li Xun's nine truths, self-reliance is actually for self-interest.

The Jiuzhen Li family has long had the intention of rebellion. This time, in order to seize Jiaozhou, he led Linyi soldiers into the country, killed thousands of people in the Japanese defenders, committed heinous crimes, and left a lot of blood debts.

Even in Jiuzhen County, Li Xun still has the voice of duty, and even the officials of the government, regardless of their lives, scolded Li Xun as a traitor.Li's soldiers were also dissatisfied with him, and their hearts were fluctuating, and a mutiny might occur at any time.

At this juncture, Jiankang issued a decree to seek rebellion, accusing him of treason and treason, connecting with foreign countries, and the crime will not be forgiven!

"If you communicate with foreign thieves and harm the people of Jiaozhou, you will be cut into pieces!"

The development of the matter proved that this kind of behavior of "slapping the head and rebelling" has no possibility of success.

Rebellion is a felony, and collusion with Linyi is even more sinful.Coupled with the slogan of "Take refuge in Chang'an", the Li family quickly became a public enemy of Jiaozhou.

Lin Yiguo was too busy to take care of himself, so he couldn't lend a helping hand at all.

Yuning and Yi prefectures had strong soldiers, and half of the border was quickly captured.Small countries and tribes that had been conquered before seized the opportunity and rose up one after another.Seeing the banner of the Han soldiers, he immediately took up his arms, killed the defenders, and opened the city gate to welcome the heavenly army.

In less than three months, the Han army had reached the capital of Linyi.

The speed of advancing troops is due to the caravans traveling in Fanbang.

The commercial firms established in Linyi played a huge role, moving around to persuade the chiefs of the various ministries, and reducing many obstacles for the army to advance.

At this point, Lin Yiguo is in dire straits, and there is no possibility of a comeback.

Soldiers are approaching the city, sitting in a sleepy city, waiting to die.

Without waiting for the defenders to take action, the Han army started logging on the same day they resisted, and blocked the gates on three sides of the city from the outside, leaving only one side for escape.

If you stay in the city, you will be trapped to death sooner or later; if you want to escape, you will be intercepted and killed by the Han army.

No matter what you choose, you will end up with a dead end.

Emissary Zhou obviously didn't have much patience, let alone set aside time for the people of Linyi to choose.Make sure that all the gates on three sides of the city are blocked, and quickly order the soldiers to prepare to attack the city.

The reason for this plan is that it was specially built in Linyi City, with the architectural characteristics of the Central Plains.The high wall built to protect the city was turned upside down at this moment and became a cage for the trapped people in the city.

"Lin Yi killed my generals and harmed my people. He should have paid back thousands of times!"

"I want everyone in this city to be buried with my subordinate Erlang and the people of Jiaozhou!"

Wearing armor, Zhou Zhongsun rode his horse and stood in front of the army with his sword in his hand. Suddenly, the sword was unsheathed and he shouted loudly: "Blood debt!"

"eye for eye!"

The soldiers shouted loudly in unison, with a powerful momentum.

The knife shield hand swung a long knife and struck the round shield hard.The rest held their guns high and their spears tapped to the ground, and the archers controlled the strings, making ear-splitting buzzing sounds.

"Siege!"

When the assassin Zhou gave an order, the horn sounded suddenly, desolate and heroic.

The soldiers carried the ladders, and the soldiers pushed the battering rams, marching bravely amidst the sound of horns and drums.

Knowing that something was wrong, the defenders immediately drew their bows and shot arrows.

However, the soldiers had shields on their shoulders, and the baffles on both sides of the battering ram were covered. Most of the arrows missed, and they still failed to stop the Han army half a step.

"kill!"

The ladder is mounted on the city wall, and the mechanism at the top is firmly fastened. Unless it is hacked with a knife, there is no possibility of it being pushed down.

The ladders were built one after the other, and the defenders couldn't cope with it. The first group of Han soldiers quickly climbed up the city wall, jumped to the top of the city, swung their long knives, and fought with Lin Yi's soldiers.

The battering ram was pushed to the bottom of the city, and the sharpened giant log struck fiercely.

The man pulling the noose was bare-chested, and the muscles in his arms and chest bulged like hard rocks.

The giant wood fell one after another, the city gate was crumbling, and the wall skin began to fall off.

Soil and gravel continued to fall, splashing a burst of dust, which quickly blocked the line of sight.The defenders gathered behind the city gate were pale and almost lost their blood.

Finally, the city gate was smashed open a gap, the battering ram retreated, and the Han army poured in like a tide.

The jumping soldiers rushed to the front, in groups of three or five, covering each other back to back, and killed Lin Yi soldiers when they saw them, regardless of whether the opponent was resisting or begging for mercy.

The battle on the top of the city is intensifying.

After the initial chaos, the bravery of Lin Yibing's soldiers was fully stimulated, and they rushed forward one after another to the enemy.Even if you are seriously injured, you must use your last strength to kill the Han soldiers in front of you, and die together with the opponent.

Lin Yibing's counterattack began to intensify, and the casualties of the Han army increased.

Zhou Zhongsun got the report, frowned hard, and shouted: "Except for the rear army, all follow me to kill the enemy!"

"promise!"

The assassin Zhou put away his sword, picked up a spear, and took the lead in riding his horse into the city.

Three hundred cavalry followed closely behind, all elites from Ningzhou.The cavalry followed the infantry, like a black whirlwind, roaring towards the city.

At this moment, there were a few strange noises in the city.

It turned out that General Lin Yi led the elephant soldiers into battle.

The Ning and Yizhou soldiers had seen the elephant soldiers before and knew that the opponent was powerful.However, that is an open area.The current situation is that the king of Linyi is greedy for life and afraid of death, and refuses to send troops out of the city. Instead, he uses giant elephants in the city, turning his advantages into disadvantages.

According to Huan Rong's words, if a good hand of cards goes bad, even Wang Za can't save him.

Sure enough, the appearance of the elephant soldiers failed to restore the decline, but made the defenders mess up.

The Linyi soldiers who drove the giant elephant were shot through by long arrows, and the giant elephant lost control. It didn't distinguish between the Han army and the defenders, and stepped on it.

The ground shook, and the battlefield was full of wailing, and the number of Linyi soldiers who died at the feet of the giant elephant was several times more than that of the Han army.

"Fire arrows!"

Zhou Zhongsun rushed into the city. Seeing the situation in front of him, he immediately summoned the archers and concentrated on shooting the Linyi soldiers who were controlling the giant elephant.

The elephant soldiers were still useless, the city was destroyed in a blink of an eye, and even the cavalry rushed straight to the palace, killing anyone they saw.King Linyi was finally frightened and left the city full of people, only taking his cronies to go out of the city along the secret road.

It's a pity that before the plan was implemented, they were caught by the treacherous tribal leaders. Together with the ministers and royal nobles in the city, there were more than 200 people, and none of them escaped.

"Don't keep one!" Zhou Zhongsun ordered, suddenly remembered something, stopped the part of the order, and said, "Keep the Lord of Linyi, keep five of the civil servants and military generals, and kill the rest!"

"promise!"

"Does the envoy want to offer prisoners before the imperial court?" A soldier asked.

Zhou Zhongsun laughed loudly and said, "Meng Guanye is the one who knows me."

Since Huan Da Sima, the Jin Dynasty has never made any achievements in regaining lost land and opening up territories.In the five years since the founding of Huan Han, apart from the Central Plains and the Western Regions, as far as the Southwest is concerned, he is also the first person who has sent troops to open up frontiers.

Thinking of the achievements of this battle, Zhou Zhongsun couldn't help being proud.

"To win the whole territory of Linyi, you might as well take over the surrounding countries by the way." Joining the army suggested, "In this way, the meritorious service of the emperor will be unmatched, comparable to that of Emperor Xuanwu."

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Zhou Zhongsun turned his head and squinted at Jianjun who spoke, his voice was cold: "What does Meng Guan mean by this?"

Joining the army thought he had a plan, cupped his hands and said: "Your lord is extraordinary in Wenzhi and martial arts, and you should be a hero in troubled times!"

As soon as the words fell, a cold light suddenly cut down.

After the cold light passed, a severed arm fell to the ground.

Joining the army widened his eyes, covered the wound with his hands, and saw the blood gushing out, the pain suddenly came back, and he fell to the ground screaming.

"Tie him up and find a doctor to heal his wounds." Zhou Zhongsun said coldly, "Don't let him die, I still have something to ask."

Thinking about what the emperor did before and after he ascended the throne, this person actually urged him to rebel, did he help him or harm him?

When he is a fool? !

Raising his eyes to scan his heart and abdomen, Zhou Zhongsun shook off the blood on the blade, and said word by word: "Remember clearly, I have today, all thanks to the gift of the government. The descendants of the Zhou family must Loyal to the Han Dynasty, if you violate this statement, both humans and gods will abandon you!"

"If you follow me, you should also keep in mind that the present is an unborn British lord. If you dare to have other intentions, you will die without a place to die!"

"promise!"

Strictly speaking, Zhou Zhongsun is by no means a good man, but a real villain.Acting from other personalities, let alone a virtuous minister and general, loyal and loyal.

To put it bluntly, he just knows how to judge the situation and see clearly than others.

From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Huan Han Dynasty, he also went through two dynasties, and was able to be reused by the Sima family and Huan Rong successively, which has his own merits.

In troubled times, Zhou Zhongsun held a powerful army in his hands, so it is impossible that he did not have ambitions.If the Sima family was in power, he might be tempted by the words of joining the army, and he would have the heart to move closer to Sima Huan.

However, Huan Rong is sitting on the throne now!

He had his head flooded, so he had the idea of ​​rebellion under this person's nose.

Looking at Li Xun's fate, what else can't be figured out?

Huan Han is not a legacy of Jin, and the Huan family is not the Sima family.

Zhou Zhongsun knew very well that if Huan Rong could give him everything, he could easily take it away.

Whether it can lead the family to a further step depends entirely on whether the person in charge is sober, whether he can fully understand that some things can be done, and some things must not be done, and he can't even think about it!

The city of Linyi was broken, the ruler and ministers of the country were arrested or killed, the palace and the city caught fire one after another, and the prosperity of the past turned to dust, which swayed into cold smoke in the years.

In the same month, the imperial reinforcements arrived in Jiaozhou. Together with Wuping and Jiaozhi County soldiers, they went south to attack Jiuzhen fiercely.

All the borrowed Linyi soldiers were killed, all the private soldiers of the family were killed in battle, and the recruited Ding Zhuang were either killed or fled. Li Xun was alone and helpless, and was completely desperate.

Knowing that if he surrendered, he would be cut into pieces by a thousand swords, so he decided to shut the door of the house before the army arrived, and set fire to the house after everyone in the family had a cup of poisoned wine.

In addition to Li Xun's wife and children, there were several confidantes and loyal servants who refused to leave, and eventually all died in the sea of ​​fire.

The news was sent to Jiankang, and Huan Rong issued an order that the three tribes of the Yi and Li clans should arrest the old tribe of the thieves.

With the imperial decree, everyone in Jiaozhou applauds.

The people in Jiuzhen and Rinan didn't need to be summoned, they took the initiative to cooperate with the state soldiers to search and arrest the Li clan.

The Jiuzhen Li family, who used to be impressive and invincible in the past, has now become a street mouse, and all the glory and wealth have passed away.What awaited them was the bloody butcher's knife in the execution field, the open gate of the Hall of Yama, and the blood-red handwriting written on the underworld book.

The southern rebellion started suddenly and subsided very quickly.

In contrast, the flames of war in Qingzhou were not so easy to extinguish.

Li Xun's rebellion was for self-interest, and in order to achieve his goal, he even did not hesitate to collude with foreigners.

Tang Gongluo is not the case.

The fuse of his rebellion was Qin Cede's decree, which was the imperial court's method of dealing with natural disasters in Bingzhou!

Tang Gongluo's ancestral home was Bingzhou, and he was originally a general of Di Qin.Before the Qin family broke through Chang'an, they led the crowd to defect and helped the Qin family to march in large-scale.After Qin Ce ascended the throne, he did a lot to deter the powerful and offended many people. In the third year of Taiyuan, he was officially awarded the Qingzhou Assassin.

Having been an official for several years, Tang Gongluo has always been conscientious and conscientious, not daring to be sloppy.

It's a pity that his status as a general is always his shortcoming.Although Qin Ce uses him, he is also guarding against him, constantly reducing his power both openly and secretly.Especially after the tyrants gradually subdued, their actions became more obvious.

Bingzhou is the hometown of Tang Gongluo, and most of the soldiers who followed him were born here.

Tang Gongluo was very anxious because of the severe drought in Bingzhou and the spread of locusts.Fortunately, the imperial court responded quickly, and quickly released food for disaster relief, dispatched troops and summoned the people to exterminate the locusts.

For the disposal of the epidemic, the source can be controlled to the greatest extent, but the methods are too harsh.Tang Gongluo was worried, but in order to avoid suspicion, he didn't say much.

However, things developed later, and he began to find something was wrong.

He was accused of being the source of the epidemic, and nearly [-] to [-] percent of the villages surrounded and burned were related to him.Most of his powerful soldiers back then, including today's trilogy, came from this place.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Tang Gongluo sent someone to inquire secretly, and the answer he got was shocking.

Someone actually took advantage of the natural disaster to kill and eradicate the aliens!

It doesn't matter whether Qin Ce ordered it or not.

Even if he didn't give the will personally, it still couldn't be separated.

With the bloody evidence in front of him, Tang Gongluo's eyes were reddened by hatred.After being surrounded in their ancestral homeland and killing all their clansmen, they finally couldn't bear it anymore and rose up in a rage.

It was not Qin Ce's original intention for things to develop to this point.

He did intend to kill people with a knife, but he never thought about leaving no way out and attacking Tang Gongluo's clansmen.

When he reacted, the tyrants who were suppressed by Tang Gongluo in the past had united and slaughtered Tang Gongluo's clansmen.The latter was driven to a dead end, and there was no way to retreat, and there was only one way to go: rebellion!

News of the rebels kept flying back to Chang'an, Qin Ce's face sank like water, he looked down at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and couldn't restrain his desire to kill.

The Hall of Light was silent.

The several powerful surnames who planned in the dark seemed to have made an agreement, and they all kept their eyes on their noses, their noses, their noses and their hearts, and collectively lost their voices.

At the same time, the news from the North came back to Jiankang, knowing the general situation, Huan Rong twisted the word Chuan between his brows, and began to seriously consider whether he should go into this muddy water.

If you decide to intervene, you must plan carefully.

Qingzhou and Huanhan are separated by Xuzhou, so it is not realistic to win the territory.If you act rashly, it will inevitably lead to war between the two countries.Not to mention Qin Ce, he is not ready yet, and hastily started the fight. Even if he can win in the end, the loss will definitely not be small.

Don't want territory, only save people?

It might work.

Huan Rong spread out the map, and slid his fingers along Jiankang to Yandu, leaving aside the land route, going up the sea route, and finally stopped at Qingzhou.

Under the rule of Qingzhou, there are counties facing the sea, which is very good.
