He heard that someone in Fangzhou had rebelled, and even Li Chengqian ran over. He ran to the yard panting, but found Li Chao taking a nap under the pear tree.

"Teacher, I heard that Fangzhou has rebelled."

Li Chao's eyes were not opened, and he decided that he was the prince when he heard the footsteps.

"Fangzhou did not rebel, but the tyrants in Shangyong City, Fangzhou rebel."

"Teacher, you already know?"

"This small matter is not worth mentioning." Li Chao still didn't open his eyes. There was a rebellion in Shangyong City, Fangzhou. This was a big deal, especially at this sensitive time point, which might be a little spark that ignited the dry firewood. But Li Chao was not panicked or in chaos.

The more you are at this time, the less you can't panic.

Fangzhou is west of Xiangzhou and south of Junzhou. It was called "Fangling" in ancient times, and was named after "a thousand miles of mountains and forests, and its solid high tombs is like a house."

Shangyong County is in the western part of Fangzhou.

Fangzhou is a very remote place, a mountainous area. It is nearby.

Wudang Mountain separates Junzhou Fangzhou from north to south, and large mountains separate Fangzhou from Kuizhou from north to south. Shennongjia to the east and continuous mountains to the west.

Fangzhou has always been one of the four major exile places in ancient China. It is extremely dangerous. It is the so-called place where people are poor and bad. The people are tough and even a bit barbaric. Moreover, there are many barbarians, that is, some young people.

In this kind of place, the government control is weak. Usually, the barbarian leaders and Han tribes are basically local emperors.

This time, due to disaster prevention, new regulations such as buying grain from large households and controlling grain inevitably violated these people. The relationship between the government and these people was not very good. After several conflicts, they simply killed the officials and rebelled and seized the county town.

However, Li Chao was not very clear about the detailed information in Fangzhou, and he was still waiting for the exact information.

Even if it is a rebellion, there are many types.

For example, soldiers mutiny, local tyrants rebelled, or local barbarians rebelled, or officials forced the people to rebel, or refugees were in chaos. Different situations would have different ways of dealing with them.

Ke Qing has already gone to Fangzhou in person, and Li Chao is also mobilizing soldiers.

The soldiers from Shandong east of Shannan had already summoned many of them to stand by in the military palace. Now, when there is a rebellion, Li Chao can directly mobilize these soldiers out of the palace to quell the rebellion, and there is no need to ask the court to wait for approval.

"There are so many types of treasons against rebellions? Aren't they all rebellions?" Li Chengqian said in surprise.

"Of course there are many different types of situations and specific handling. For example, what you are most afraid of now is that the people are rising up and rebelling!" Li Chao said.

"The people are most afraid of rebellion? The people should be the least afraid of. They have no soldiers, no wealth, no reputation!"

"Because the number of people is the most common, once the people rebel, if someone incites and exploits them, it is the most terrible to carry them out. On the contrary, if the people do not rebel, then whether it is a mutiny in the army, a rebellion by officials, or a rebellion by local wealthy families or barbarians, these are not enough to be afraid. Because they are actually limited in power, if they cannot incite the people, they are water without a source and tree without roots."

Li Chengqian seems to understand but not.

The people are equivalent to firewood, and the rebels are at most equivalent to fire, and the powerful are equivalent to wind. If the firewood is not dry, it is wet, and even if there is a fire head, it is difficult to burn it. If the firewood is not wet, even if it is not very dry, if there is wind to help the fire, it is easy to ignite a big fire.

What Li Chao is most worried about now is that the people are rebelling, being incited by the powerful barbarians, and then being snatched from other people. This is the most feared thing.

Fortunately, Li Chao's worries have not become reality.

After receiving the news of the rebellion in Fangzhou, Li Chao mobilized troops and sent people to Fangzhou to inquire, while also strictly blocking the news to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

Three days later, Ke Qing returned to Xiangyang in a dusty manner.

"How?" Li Chao also asked impatiently.

"Things are better than expected. I inquired in detail and sneaked into Shangyong City occupied by the rebels."

The matter is not complicated. Because Fangzhou has a lot of land, there have always been great conflicts between the Han and the Barbarians. The barbarians were actually on the mountains, while the Han people almost occupied the flat ground at the foot of the mountain.

This time, the Han tyrants at the foot of the mountain used the tiger skins of the imperial court to levy heavy taxes on the local tyrants. These tyrants took advantage of their influence in the local government and took the opportunity to attack the tyrants.

Their greed eventually angered the Tumans. Especially when a Tuman villager was caught in the yamen because of "tax resistance", and finally accidentally killed him, the Tumans became angry.

They connected each other and finally raided Shangyong County on a dark and windy night.

"The barbarians rebel?" Li Chao even breathed a sigh of relief when he said this.

Although these barbarians were forced to rebel, this kind of rebellion is also the best one.

"What's going on Shangyong City now?"

"It's very miserable. The wealthy and powerful merchants and even Han people in the county were almost 3,000, and they were almost massacred. Those people massacred the city and killed three days, then snatched away everything they could in the city, then burned Shangyong County, went to the countryside to burn and rob, and finally retreated back to the mountains."

Three thousand people, Li Chao's face became gloomy.

The fierce and barbaric people of these barbarians were beyond his imagination. But it was normal. The barbarians were barbarians, and they had not yet been civilized. They even retained the custom of headhunting. Even if they were barbarians, they were usually separated from various villages and tribes. Often, the adjacent villages had feuds and were often hunting headhunting at every turn.

Headhunter means hunting people from enemy tribes, then cutting off the heads, taking them back to the tribe, and standing at the door of their own house. This is a symbol of courage. The more skulls there are in the door of the house, the more heroic they are. When they die in the future, the skulls of these people hunted by their own hands will be buried with them.

The greed of the Han family in Shangyong, Fangzhou, led to its own destruction and brought three thousand Han people to be buried with them.

"What should the Prime Minister do?" Ke Qing asked. "If you want to encircle and suppress it, it's not easy. I've seen the terrain of Shangyongna, with high mountains and dense forests. Most of the barbarian villages are in the deep mountains, all in the places where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to attack with force, it's not easy."

"Blood debt and blood repayment. No matter how this matter began, now that I have reached this point, I have no choice!" Li Chao said.

After the riots, although they quickly retreated to the mountains, Li Chao could not think that this incident had not happened. Especially in this troublesome situation, Li Chao could not show weakness.

"There are many lands in the south of the mountain, but not just Fangzhou. If other lands in the future, wouldn't it be a mess?"

"Then cut the mess quickly and handle this matter as fast as possible!"
