1112 Bleeding is not stopping
Langya's nostalgia is still glued, Liu Chao is sitting in Jincheng, and Langya Xiangyong led by Zhuge Hui is still surrounded by outsiders and is not allowed to enter.
In fact, according to the actual military strength comparison, Liu Chao is in a complete weakness. He had already been excluded because of the lack of a party, and the capital had no formed armed forces a few years ago, and this time he hastily marched westward, and many of the troops he led were all local merchant guards in Beijing and the labor was reorganized, and the number was only more than 2,000.
And the Langya Xiangyong led by Zhuge Hui, although it is not an elite division, but after all, it is composed of various clans and clans in Langya, and it has also undergone a relatively long period of running-in training, and there are monstrous hometown feuds that cause anger to grow. So if you really use a strong attack, Liu Chao is really difficult to match.
But the reason why the situation is deadlocked is that Liu Chao is a person who can be said to be truly desireless and impartial. The reason why he prevented Langya Township from bravely entering the county and even took revenge was definitely not to shield those Wu villagers who did evil, but to avoid further deterioration of the situation.
The second is Zhuge Hui's intentional control, the more than 3,000 Langya Xiangyong he controls, can already be said to be the only remaining local vitality, if he is allowed to vent his anger, not only will it not help, but when the greater revenge comes, the Langya Qiaozong may be extinct!
Therefore, the current Zhuge Hui is really in a dilemma, Jincheng can't enter, and if he retreats to Zhoushan, the villagers are difficult to control. If this situation is an analogy, it is somewhat similar to Shen Chong earlier, they are all bound by the nostalgia, and they are not free, knowing that there will be no good results in the stalemate, but they can't completely give up these villagers.
Zhuge was in a state of distress, but the evolution of the situation in Jinnai did not stand still, and the news came worse and worse every time. Wang Yunzhi rushed out of Zhoushan and caused chaos in the capital, completely breaking the situation of Gou An that the front desk assistants were trying to maintain.
This news has made Zhuge Hui feel anxious, but soon another more shocking news followed, that is, his eldest son Zhuge Cheng sent people to report complacently, saying that he had unified the wishes of the township, and only waited for Zhuge to return to the capital, so as to abolish the plan and put the king of Huainan on the throne!
Hearing this news, Zhuge Hui was directly stunned on the spot, his hands and feet were cold, and the whole person was like thunder, and when he reacted, he was already roaring angrily: "Rebel, rebel!" ”
Ask yourself, Zhuge Hui has always consciously controlled the King of Huainan in his hands, and he has not thought of abolishing it in his heart, but this is only as the last hole card chip, which is to always be held in his hand to make people fearful, and definitely not to play out.
Even if the situation has developed to a point where there is no return, Zhuge Hui will not really come to that point, one has almost no possibility of success, and the other will inevitably attract infamy through the ages!
Therefore, after learning this news, Zhuge Hui first ordered his second son Zhuge Yu to quickly control Zhuge Ying and his party members, and if necessary, directly behead him for the crime of rebellion. At the same time, he also quickly mobilized his cronies scattered among the villagers, and prepared to return to Zhoushan immediately.
But he also knew that once he left, these villagers would inevitably mutiniate and fall apart. So before leaving, he still sent someone to inform Liu Chao, hoping that Liu Chao would take his hometown as his thoughts, temporarily replace him to comfort and suppress it, and at the same time protect these villagers.
As for the reason why he had to evacuate urgently, it can't be explained to Liu Chao. If Liu Chao learns that his son is planning to abolish the establishment in Jinei, according to Liu Chao's temperament, his first reaction will inevitably be to attack him, and the situation will inevitably become more erosive.
Liu Chao in Jincheng also soon received a letter from Zhuge Hui, which only informed him that the dark tide was surging in Jinnei, and that there would be a reversal in an instant, and Zhuge Hui must return to the town, so he could only entrust these helpless villagers to Liu Chao.
After Liu Chao received this letter, he didn't think too much about it, and quickly nodded and agreed. Of course, there are also subordinates on the left and right who advise Liu Chao to beware of fraud, after all, in the course of the confrontation in the past few days, those Langya villagers have been forcibly blocked out, and they have accumulated a lot of resentment against Liu Chao in their hearts.
"Ge Gong is in charge of Taiwan, and he will not plot for this, he knows me, if he really intends to cause harm, he can achieve it with one edict, and there is no need to damage his reputation. His people had to rush back to the center, and it can be seen that there were indeed drastic changes in the capital. ”
After hearing this, Liu Chao just waved his hand and said: "I have been pursuing the king's order for half my life, and the villagers are lawless first, even if I am ruined by the wishes of the villagers, I don't need to regret it." ”
Then, he instructed his subordinates to quickly transfer the Wu villagers under the prison county to the east of Daye Pass. After arranging these things, he led more than a dozen family members and went straight to the camp of the villagers outside Langya County.
Not long after Zhuge Hui left, panic spread among the Langya villagers, although they were also full of revenge, but after this period of confrontation calm, there was no lack of people thinking about the future, full of confusion. Zhuge Hui stayed here, giving them some comfort, but now even Zhuge Hui has left, making them gradually despair.
Liu Chao arrived at the right time at this moment, and he did not enter the camp directly, but was outside the camp and asked people to call out several villager leaders, and ordered: "Duke Ge is eager to return to the capital, not to abandon the villagers. It's really a matter of urgency, so I have to do it. The villagers do not need to be afraid, and there will be a royal edict of justice to the masses in the near future. If you are still obsessed with separating yourself from the royal road, and the situation in Japan will stabilize in the future, Wang Fa will not give protection to the villagers. Now I am temporarily here, please the villagers to return to the country, wherever I am, I will seek justice for the villagers in my name! ”
Those village leaders had also been instructed by some Zhuge Hui before, and they all knew more or less that if the chaos continued now, it would be harmful to their villagers. At this time, when they heard Liu Chao's serious assurance, they all nodded and agreed, and then went separately to appease the villagers and went to Jincheng in batches.
However, this calm situation did not last long, and after the villagers returned to the county, it was inevitable that there would be some separation, either returning to their hometowns to visit, or searching for those Wu murderers. The tragic situation in the countryside is vivid, and those Wu murderers have already been transferred away, and all kinds of resentment and anger have bred out of my heart for a while.
"Ge Gong abandoned me, Liu Thief is treacherous and cowardly, and he wants to take the lives of villagers like me to flatter raccoon slaves!"
All kinds of violent voices rang out in the countryside, and quickly gathered towards the golden city.
Outside Jincheng, Liu Chaoshang distributed the little grain and other food left in the treasury to the villagers who had entered the temporary accommodation, and repeatedly assured them that when the situation stabilized, he would definitely seek justice for the local blood feud.
However, soon, those sporadic fires of resentment in the wild drifted in, and these Langya villagers had been suppressed for a long time and could not be revived, and after receiving these clamours, the anger of the group was detonated again. Liu Chao, who was in the camp, had no way to dodge, and was directly arrested by the villagers.
There is no way to vent a lot of grievances, and now Liu Chao is the only target to vent, so all kinds of insults and kicks are completely poured on Liu Chao. Even if he suffered extreme humiliation, Liu Chao was still shouting loudly, persuading these villagers not to rebel again, otherwise there would be absolutely no good end.
However, the villagers' sanity had already been crushed by anger, and where could they still listen to persuasion at this time, they beat Liu Chao, the traitor in the township who obstructed their revenge, tied their limbs and tied their hair on the flagpole, and ransacked Jincheng, and then tracked the direction of the Wu people's transfer, and killed them to the east.
The speed at which the Wu villagers left was not fast, so they were soon discovered by the Langya villagers who were chasing behind, and the two sides chased and caught up, and soon handed over together, and began to break out some sporadic vendettas.
Wu Ren was blocked and imprisoned by Liu Chao before, and he had already been disarmed, and his anger had already been vented, so he was naturally not the opponent of those Langya Xiangyong who were determined to take revenge.
What's more, these Langya villagers were replenished with ordnance in Zhoushan, so nearly 100 Wu villagers who fell behind, including the Jingfu soldiers sent by Liu Chao to escort them, were soon driven and killed.
Between this chase and escape, the great cause is still in sight. Just when those Wu villagers were exhausted and almost desperate, a large number of soldiers with bright armor suddenly poured out of the Daye Pass, led by hundreds of horsemen howling and rushing out: "Wuzhong villagers, please temporarily retreat into the wilderness, so as to watch us and other Wu County righteous teachers punish the thieves here!" ”
Compared with the rapid evolution and collapse of the situation in Kinai and the several bloody battles in the surrounding areas, it is inevitable that the surrounding prefectures will lag behind in receiving information and advancing the situation, but this does not mean that there is no change at all.
Wu County, as the northernmost county of Sanwu, is connected to Beijing and Jinling, and when the Langya tragedy happened, it was also affected.
Wang Qizhi was in Jinling, at the beginning of the township turmoil, he was ready to lead the people back to his hometown to rescue, but Daye Pass was first occupied by Liu Chao, and Wang Qi's soldiers were too few, so he simply led the crowd straight to Wu County, and prepared to work with Wang Hu Zhi of Wu County to send Wu County's township household servants to form a righteous division to counterattack Danyang.
However, although the people of Wu County are slightly estranged from the township party led by the Shen family, such as Wuxing and Huiji, it does not mean that they are scattered and let others take care of them. If we go back further, after Shen Chong fled after being attacked and fled outside the Jiwai River, he retreated south to the vicinity of Maoshan Mountain, and gathered Wuxing villagers in the Great Wall, Hometown and other places, while Qian Feng went to Wu County to visit and persuade Gu, Lu and other leaders of Wu County Township Sect.
Therefore, although Wang Qizhi avoided the disaster of Langya Township, but then transferred to Wu County, which was equivalent to rushing directly into the wolf's den. After the surviving people of the Wang family were detained by the people of Wu County, the villagers of Wu County went north to steal the Great Cause Pass, and soon after they met Langya Township Yong to chase and kill the villagers of Wuzhong.
As a result, a massacre without suspense broke out outside the Great Cause Pass!
