The pseudo-Qi, Nanqiaozhou, Qiao County.
Heavy snow hit the city, and the dilapidated houses along the street revealed a foul smell.
The soldiers walked on the road with carts.
The road was not very clean. As they walked, they stopped suddenly, grabbed an arm from the snow on the side, pulled it out, and the arm was broken, but not much blood flowed out. They threw the arm into the car, cursed for a few words, and then continued to dig.
Soon, a corpse was dug out by them, they grabbed the corpse and threw it into the car, and then continued to move forward.
There are soldiers advancing on the roads in the city.
The cart was carrying a full body of corpses, and was transported out of the city.
This is always the case every winter. Many people cannot survive the cold winter and die in their houses or on the roads. The men in the city are kind-hearted and afraid that these corpses will cause illness, so they will send people to collect the corpses with heartwarming hearts.
Sometimes, soldiers would go into the yard to collect the corpses, clean up the bodies, and take away what they could take away.
Sometimes when they can't see a corpse when they enter the yard, they will help turn the other party into a corpse and then help him with the aftermath.
In the Governor's Office.
Duan Shao held the hot hot tea in his hand and took a sip.
Duan Shao was wearing armor, and there were many armored soldiers standing on both sides.
The governor Murong Ziyong knelt aside, with tears in his eyes, and he looked moved.
"Thanks to the timely arrival of the Grand Sima, otherwise, I really don't know how to resist Liu Zhe and Chen Zhe."
"Previously, Lu Qian asked me to lead troops to aid. As soon as I led the army to approach Yangzhou, I learned that he was captured. I met the enemy's vanguard army and killed more than 5,000 people. The enemy did not dare to pursue him. Then I returned to Qiaozhou."
Duan Shao glanced at him deeply.
"I see."
"You fought a war with Huang Fafeng?"
"Yes, it's Huang Fafeng's men!"
"How many people have you brought?"
"I brought more than ten thousand people."
"How many people are there in Huang Fafeng?"
"This seems to be about the same number of people, but the southerners are all vulnerable. After I encountered Huang Faqiong and I, I directly ordered a fierce attack. Huang Faqiong threw down half of his body, turned around and ran away."
Duan Shao took a few more bites of tea, but no answer.
Murong Ziyong was a little embarrassed. He looked at the soldiers standing around him again, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Duan Shao.
"Sima, I am loyal to the temple."
Duan Shao finally put down the teacup in his hand, "Since I am loyal, I ordered the governors of various states to send people to Jinyong City. Why are you unwilling to come? What about my envoy?"
"Ah, I have never seen your messenger here, Grand Sima, you have really misunderstood, misunderstood."
"I really didn't see any messenger. I didn't know that you were here. I didn't know about this until my subordinates said that you were in the state. I hurriedly ordered the city gate to welcome you!"
"Grand Sima, if I had a strange intention, how could I go out of the city to greet me?"
Murong Ziyong said sincerely, and he said with tears in his eyes: "My father was framed by Liu Taozi and I was demoted to white. Thanks to Emperor Wucheng, I was able to serve as governor. How dare I be disloyal?"
Looking at the young man who was crying, Duan Shao sneered.
"I really don't understand. I issued an order at Jinyong City to send envoys to report that the governors of the states in all places are willing to surrender. Just here, there has been no further information for a long time, and my envoys are gone."
"Now I am leading the army, but you say you are a loyal minister. Is your loyalty only manifested when you meet an army?"
Governor Murong was startled, shook his head quickly, muttering to explain.
"Puff~~"
Duan Shao was quick-handed and he pulled out the knife at some point, only seeing the light of the knife flash by.
Governor Murong still maintained his original posture. Suddenly, bleeding ejaculated from his neck, splashing directly on the tea in front of him and even Duan Shao's body.
Governor Murong fell to the ground in disbelief.
Duan Shao glanced at the other party.
After he arrived in the south, he relied on his prestige to quickly start to clean up the chaos and stabilize the country. This governor Murong killed his envoy and had the idea of ​​independence, so Duan Shao happened to kill him.
On the one hand, the location here is important, and you can attack the southerners from here. Duan Shao needs to completely control this place. On the other hand, killing the governor Murong will let the rest know what the outcome would be like to oppose the temple.
Duan Shao glanced at the tea in front of him.
"What a pity that good tea."
"Take it out and declare everyone that this is the end of disobeying the edict!"
"Let the other prefectures and counties send people to pay homage to the emperor earlier!!"
"only!!"
The soldier bowed his head, then cut off the head of the ground, and strode away from the house.
Duan Shao wiped the case in front of him, then took out a map from his arms, put it down, and began to watch it carefully.
There are countless traces drawn by Duan Shao on the map.
These are the regaining pictures that Duan Shao thought.
To the north of the river in Qi, it has always been the political center. Almost all the elite soldiers, generals and ministers come from Hebei, and to the south of the river, it is not as bad as imagined. The population, money, grain, and land here are larger than Hebei.
He had previously pretended to work with the Zhou people and taught Zhou people a lesson.
He was sure that the Zhou people would never send troops again in the short term, even if Jinyong City became an empty city, they would not send troops.
After Yuwen Hu's defeat, they finally gritted their teeth and made some troops, but they were beaten away by themselves. Now they can't say what they are going on.
Duan Shao is not worried about Liu Taozi either.
Liu Taozi has a lot of things to deal with in China. Not to mention anything else, he will have to deal with the Jinyang issue more than half a year if he wants to deal with it well.
The only thing he has to deal with now is the Southern people.
The Chen people took advantage of the melee in the north and took the opportunity to steal the Lianghuai area. The rich areas of Lianghuai area cannot be easily handed over to others.
Fortunately, the Chen people and Liu Taozi had been entangled for a long time, and the army could not afford it. It was the cold winter again, so they dared not to retreat.
At most, it is just to leave a strong future and cut off the rear.
As long as Duan Shao is not facing a 100,000-200,000-200,000-Duan Shao has nothing to be afraid of. As for Chen's general Duan Shao, he feels that he can still deal with it.
Just as Duan Shao was thinking about his strategy to send troops, the loud sound of horse hooves sounded in the courtyard.
After a moment, the sound of horse hooves turned into footsteps again.
"Report!!"
A soldier rushed into the house and bowed to Duan Shao.
Duan Shao asked softly: "What's wrong with Liu Taozi?"
"It was an edict. Liu thief asked someone to write an edict, proclaiming it, proclaiming the world."
"The content of the manifesto spread from Guangqing to other places, and many people have seen it."
The soldier had obviously read the manifesto, his face was pale and his whole body was trembling.
Duan Shao disagreed.
Duan Shao read out a proclamation to fight against the thieves in Jinyang, announced many of Liu Taozi's crimes, dismissed him, and returned to the south.
If Liu Taozi had no response, that Duan Shao would feel strange.
He had long thought that Liu Taozi would issue a manifesto to refute him, and might even establish a new king to compete with him.
He smiled and said, "No, let's take the manifesto and see it with me."
The soldier took out the document from his arms and handed it to the other party tremblingly.
Duan Shao picked it up and said with a smile: "Liu Taozi's reaction was a little slower, I thought he would announce it very early."
He picked up the article as he said.
The next moment, the smile on Duan Shao's face froze.
He didn't even dare to read the article in his hand. He seemed to suddenly encounter some prehistoric beast and subconsciously threw the document out.
The soldier hurriedly knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.
Duan Shao stayed in place stiffly. After a while, he picked up the thing and continued to watch.
The more he looked, the ugly his face became.
After reading it over and over again, Duan Shao's breathing became heavier, his face turned red, and his hands began to tremble the same.
"Rebel!!"
"The dog is so brave!!"
Duan Shao angrily threw out the document in his hand, stood up, and drew his sword suddenly.
He thought that Liu Taozi would insult him, insult Gao Yan, and deny the new court.
But he never expected that Liu Taozi would directly deny the Great Qi. The one he attacked with this manifesto was the emperor of Qi!!
Duan Shao staggered a few steps, rushed to his forehead with anger, and had a split headache!
Is this guy crazy?
He is born as a Qi Chen, so how dare he do such a thing?
After a long time, Duan Shao barely stabilized his mentality.
He looked at the soldiers in front of him seriously, "Liu Zhe openly rebelled, once again confirming my original manifesto."
"Send someone to inform the prefectures and counties that Liu Taozi's manifesto is strictly prohibited. No one is allowed to watch, not to circulate, and not to hide it privately!!"
"Disappearance!!"
"only."
When everyone went out, Duan Shao sat in his seat. He looked at the document in front of him again, and the anger in his eyes began to dissipate little by little, but in the end he became extremely complicated.
This is completely different from what he expected.
When he snatched the emperor and the jade seal, announced his orthodoxy first, and was waiting to argue with Liu Taozi who was orthodoxy, Liu Taozi gave him a stick. The things Duan Shao attached the most were worthless to Liu Taozi. He didn't care about his reputation, no other people's evaluation, and even no etiquette or rules.
Latest + chapters + reading!
Duan Shao suddenly became alert.
If this judgment is wrong, then the future strategy must be adjusted accordingly.
Liu Taozi obviously did not want to take the comfort route, so he would definitely take the same route when dealing with domestic affairs. In this way, he should handle domestic affairs faster, so he would have to defeat the southerners earlier, at least the counties that do not rely on rivers must be in his own hands.
There are many things to do.
Duan Shao tried hard to think about what he would do in the future, but the more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he became, but he lost his previous calmness.
At this moment, someone pushed him away.
"Grand Sima!"
Duan Shao raised his head and stood in front of him was Dugu Yongye's son, Dugu Xuda.
Dugu Xuda looks very much like his father, but he is not a martial artist, elegant and easy-going, dressed like those Han scholars.
He saluted Duan Shao with a gentle manner.
"General, I heard that you executed the governor?"
"How can I not kill my envoy to be independent?"
Dugu Xuda nodded, "It's time to kill, it's time to kill, but this Qiaozhou is a big province and is very close to the enemy. Should the position of this governor be considered carefully?"
"What? Do you want to be this governor?"
"How dare you, how dare you?"
Dugu Xuda hurriedly lowered his head, "I don't have much talent and dare not expect to be the governor. However, I am willing to recommend someone to you."
"General Ping Zijing has made remarkable contributions. He can treat the military and civilians well and know the war. If he can serve as the governor of this place, I think it would be the best."
Dugu Xuda began to boast about this person hard, talking about his past achievements.
Duan Shao narrowed his eyes, "Ping Zijing? So the son of Sikong Pingwen Gong?"
Dugu Xuda was very happy, "Yes, it was him. Duke Pingwen is a capable minister in the world. When he was still alive, he served as the governor. The people were all grateful for his kindness and his reputation was known to the world."
"I know him."
"It's Ping Zijing who wanted to rape his father and concubine when Duke Ping Wen died?"
Dugu Xuda's face paused, "Many of them are rumors and cannot be believed. Ping Zijing is open-minded and famous for his benevolence and righteousness."
Duan Shao waved his hand and said unhappily: "In these days, your father has recommended enough governors."
"This governor of Qiaozhou doesn't need you to recommend it again."
"I know who should be given to you!"
Perhaps Duan Shao was unhappy by the manifesto just now, so he sent Dugu Xuda out.
Dugu Xuda walked out of the door, his face dark. As soon as he walked out of the yard, a short young man appeared in front of him with a smile.
This young man looked sick, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, and his eyes were filled with slight eyebrows and rat eyes.
"Crown Prince, what did you say?"
"Am I the governor of Qiaozhou now?"
This person is Hirako-jing.
He has been in the process of resigning to Dugu Yongye for a while and has been working under his command.
Dugu Xuda shook his head and looked back at the official office unhappily.
"I actually blasted me out."
"What?!"
Ping Zijing's face changed drastically. He said angrily: "When Duan Shao was chased by Liu Taozi's people and ran to Heluo like a dog, we took him in, gave up Jinyong City, and allowed him to live in the mansion where the general lived in the past!"
"Now he dares to be rude to the prince?"
He rolled up his sleeves, held the hilt of the sword and was about to walk in.
Dugu Xuda hurriedly grabbed him, narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Don't be reckless."
"Crown Prince, why are you afraid?"
"Who are the soldiers who came out here are not ours?"
Dugu Xuda shook his head again, "No problem, with Duan Shao's help in these days, we have achieved success quickly. In the blink of an eye, many prefectures and counties have been under our control. The governors appointed by my father are also training the army for us and stocking up food and grass!"
"He is still useful, and he can't attack him."
"But this Qiaozhou."
Dugu Xuda laughed again, "What are you afraid of? The temple didn't want my grandfather to be the governor at the beginning, so didn't he just make the appointment obediently in the end?"
"He didn't have the final say in the matter here. He wanted to arrange a new governor, so we can't make his new governor pass. In the end, this position is ours."
"Don't worry about him!"
"Let's go!!"
The two quickly disappeared at the door.
Inside the house, the chief of the former Qiaozhou was advising Duan Shao with a embarrassed look on his face.
The father of the chief minister once had an old age with Duan Shao, and he also leaked the murder of the governor to Duan Shao, and he also coaxed the governor to open the city gate to welcome Duan Shao.
The chief of the clan said with a sad face: "Sima, you really shouldn't treat Dugu Xuda like this."
"The father and son seem open-minded, but in fact they are narrow-minded."
"I shouldn't have said much about these words, but the Grand Sima of Dugu Yongye should not be trusted. In order to stay in Heluo, he specially ordered his subordinates to cause trouble in the local area after he left, to force the people to surrender to the Zhou people, and force the temple to delegate power to him. This shows that this person is an ambitious person!!"
"I think it's inappropriate for the Grand Sima to rely on such a person to accomplish great things."
"He just used the Grand Sima to expand his power. If the Grand Sima just let it go, sooner or later he would do the same thing as Liu Zhe!"
"I heard that he was discussing changing his surname in private."
"This is proof of his unfaithful intentions."
Duan Shao was not surprised at all after listening to the Changshi's persuasion.
No one knew better than him about these generals in China, including Dugu Yongye. He knew what kind of person the other party was.
"Don't talk about these things to the public. In the future, you can do things with peace of mind and don't participate in anything."
"I have my own way to do it on Dugu Yongye."
"only!!"
Duan Shao put away the map in front of him, stood up, and quickly walked out of the house.
When he walked into the courtyard, many soldiers guarded him, waiting for his orders.
Duan Shao looked at these people. He led his troops out, and all he brought out were Dugu Yongye's men. Baibao stayed in Jinyong City instead.
Dugu Yongye was very happy about this and was happy to lend the army to Duan Shao for use.
Duan Shao also gradually became familiar with the soldiers from all over the country during his war. After communicating and talking with them, he learned a lot from them.
"Grand Sima!!"
Everyone bowed their heads and saluted.
Duan Shao smiled all over his face, "Everyone, taking Qiaozhou again this time is a great achievement."
"When you go further, you will be in contact with the Southern people. I heard that the Southern people repelled Liu Zhe and made a great reputation."
"I'm willing to follow me to defeat the thief and make meritorious contributions?"
"I wish to defeat the thief with the Grand Sima!!"
