For Suzhou, Li Xun is more and more fond of it, and he has come twice before and after, both of which have gained many benefits.

The previous time I suppressed the bandits, and obtained a lot of money, this time, I came from Wang Renzizi to ask for 5,000 sets of weapons and armor, plus Wuzhou retired more than 5,000 soldiers, the weapons and armor in their hands were empty, adding up to 10,000 sets, Li Xun is ready to recruit a group of soldiers from the Han people to build their own team, this plan, has a good start.

After resting in Suzhou for two days, Li Xun led 2,000 soldiers and escorted 100,000 people from the Central Plains to Wuzhou.

The speed of the people's march was very slow, more than 150 miles away, and it took two whole days to enter the territory of Shazhou.

When I went from Shazhou to Suzhou, on the official road, I could meet patrol soldiers who galloped past and arranged by Yu Yanhui from time to time, but now I have been deep in Shazhou for more than 50 miles, and I haven't seen the shadow of a soldier, which is definitely a bit abnormal.

"Hou Quan!"

Li Xun called loudly.

"Governor, what do you command?"

Hou Quan came quickly on horseback.

Li Xun said: "You lead a team of people to Shouchang County first, and ask Yu Yanhui where the soldiers he arranged outside have gone." ”

"Yes, Governor, the last general will go at once."

Hou Quan gave up his hand, turned around and shouted, led more than ten cavalrymen, rushed out of the team, and galloped towards Shouchang County.

"Li Xun, there's something wrong with grabbing mines!"

Zheng Chun came to the front and said loudly.

Li Xun frowned slightly, and said to Zheng Chun: "Brother Zheng, what is your opinion?" ”

Zheng Chun thought for a while, and then said: "Rest on the spot, send more scouts out, find out the situation clearly, and make plans." ”

Li Xun nodded, this is the safest way.

"Brother Zheng, you can arrange it."

The team stopped, rested early and started eating.

The people were a little puzzled, in the past few days, the officers and soldiers have been urging them to speed up their advance, why did they suddenly stop and rest in advance to eat, but the people didn't think much about it, after all, they were escorted by thousands of soldiers, and in their opinion, there must be no problem with safety.

In less than half an hour, Hou Quan came back, and when he went, there were more than a dozen people, but when he came back, there were dozens more.

Hou Quan found Li Xun, lowered his voice, and the first thing he said was: "Dudu, something is wrong." ”

Li Xun remained silent, glanced around, there were many people around, so he pulled Hou Quan out.

"Governor Li."

An officer was waiting there, very strange, not his subordinate, when he saw Li Xun, he hurriedly greeted him and bowed.

"What happened to Yu Yanhui?"

Li Xun asked out loud, this is in Shazhou, and this person must be Yu Yanhui's subordinate.

The officer said in a deep voice: "It's not Shazhou, it's Wuzhou, there's something big going on in Wuzhou." ”

Li Xun was stunned in place, what big thing can happen in Wuzhou? When I walked by myself, it was calm.

The officer glanced at Li Xun and continued.....

There was really a big incident in Wuzhou, Wu Heng wantonly released grain, gathered the people in the territory, Wang Chengxi sent troops to assist, arrested tens of thousands of people at once, and escorted them to Suzhou to complete the immigration task handed over by the imperial court.

The people refused to obey and resisted, and Wang Chengxi forced him by force, killing and injuring hundreds of people, and finally provoked a popular uprising, and tens of thousands of people suddenly became a mob......

Li Xun's eyes were red, his right hand clenched into a fist, slammed it on his hand, and roared angrily: "Wu Heng Pifu, you can't die well." ”

Li Xun was unforgivable, Wu Heng opened a warehouse to release grain, gathered the people, this matter, half a month ago, Li Xun once sent someone to ask, Wu Heng gave an explanation, others are not enough, one by one to find people to publicize, persuade immigrants to Suzhou, not to say a month, even if it is one or two years, it is difficult to complete the task conveyed by the imperial court, it is better to spend some food, let the people take the initiative to gather, and then unify the propaganda of the imperial court's immigration policy, so that it saves a lot of trouble, this explanation is very reasonable, Li Xun also thinks it is feasible, didn't pay too much attention to Wu Heng, where would he have thought that Wu Heng was actually using this calculation, which was simply harming others and himself.

The officer said: "Governor Li, the news of the turmoil in Wuzhou reached Shazhou last night, and in the early hours of this morning, the soldiers on patrol came to report that the people of several nearby villages had signs of gathering in one place. ”

Li Xun forced himself to calm down and looked at the officer coldly: "Since things have changed, why don't you send someone to Suzhou to report immediately?" ”

The officer half-knelt on the ground and said with a look of shame: "The last general was in a hurry for a while, but he forgot about this matter, please supervise and punish him." ”

"Your crime, let's talk about it later, I now order you to immediately spread the news everywhere, so that the soldiers patrolling along the way do not return to Shouchang, but patrol the surrounding villages on the spot, arrest the spies who came to report the news, and block the news from Wuzhou to me."

"The last general commands."

The officer bowed his hand and immediately turned and rode away.

Hou Quan asked in a low voice beside him, "Governor, shall we return to Wuzhou immediately?" ”

"How do you go back, go back, what will happen to the people here?"

Li Xun shook his head, sighed, and turned to walk back.

found Zheng Chun and told him about Wuzhou.

Zheng Chun was also taken aback when he heard the news, but he quickly calmed down, he was a veteran of the battlefield, he had seen a big scene, and he knew that the more this time, the more he could not panic.

Li Xun put his hands behind his back, walking back and forth, his brows furrowed.

"Brother Zheng, it's better for you and me to divide the troops, you lead a thousand soldiers to escort the people back to Suzhou, and I lead the remaining one thousand soldiers to Shouchang first, gather the army in Yanhui's hands, and immediately rush to Wuzhou."

"No."

Zheng Chun shook his head: "Now let the people return to Suzhou, no matter how we explain it, they can guess it, something must be something ahead, once rumors spread, there will be a riot, we only have two thousand soldiers in our hands, if the 100,000 people are in chaos, it will be difficult for us to control it, and then the trouble will be even greater." ”

Li Xun nodded, what Zheng Chun said was not unreasonable, but he thought things too simply.

Since you can't retreat, you can only move on.

Zheng Chun thought for a while, and finally suggested: "The news of the turmoil in Wuzhou has not completely dispersed in Shazhou, we must speed up and rush to Shouchang immediately, and when we get there, we will converge with Yanhui's army and make plans." ”

"That's it, let's go to Shouchang first."

Time was pressing, and at this time, Li Xun couldn't afford to think about it, thought quickly, and finally agreed to Zheng Chun's suggestion.
