In all dynasties, all those who appease bandits must exchange official documents at all levels, and bigwig-level officials make decisions, and then go through trivial procedures, and finally study the selection of people who go to appease before they can make the trip.

However, after this fiasco, Qiongzhou Mansion has no troops to adjust, Guangdong's troops are far away and difficult to quench their thirst, it is said that it is a plan to delay the army, or it is true to appease, in short, Qiongzhou Mansion is very efficient this time, and at the end of July it sent a team to Lingao, and the specifications are quite high, headed by Zhao Yue, who knows the same thing.

In Lingao County, Wu Mingjin, the county commander, also heard the news that Fucheng sent troops to suppress him, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night, God still favored him, this traitor used all his tricks to control Lingao, and put himself under house arrest, after all, he couldn't escape this Skynet. It's just that before he could figure out what to do with Xia Nan and the renegade Master Qian, he heard the news of the crushing defeat of the official army.

At first, he didn't believe it, thinking that it was a fake news deliberately released by Xia Nan, but with the triumph of the escort, the news was confirmed to be true. If the official army wins, I am afraid that the few people who are responsible for guarding him at the door will have fled for their lives.

After experiencing extreme excitement to extreme disappointment, Wu Daxian Ling was heartbroken for a while. Thousands of troops in Fucheng were defeated, and he couldn't think of any other way to contain Xia Nan. Will he continue to be under house arrest, or will he be cut off with a knife and his head cut off and the grass will be eradicated? Do you want to cut yourself off and take the full name of the festival? Wu Mingjin was entangled in despair.

Master's idea of having more money is much simpler, he just wants to save his life.

The news of the arrival of the official army made him surprised and delighted, happy that if the official army exterminated Xia Nan, he could be freed from the torment of "thieves", and the surprise was that Lingao returned to the imperial court to grasp, then his leakage of the news would be liquidated, and the end would be even worse. Thinking about it, it was actually Xia Nan's victory, and his situation was better!

So he began to burn incense and worship the Buddha to pray for the defeat of the official army, I don't know if the official army was too useless or he made a wish too bright, the official army was really defeated, and it was a complete defeat, and there was almost no loss in the people and horses in the south of the summer.

In this way, he can only go all the way to the dark, and continue to follow Xia Nan "from the thief". Fortunately, although Xia Nan was frightened, as long as he did things as he was told, the remuneration was much more generous than that of Wu County.

A few days ago, Tongzhi Zhao Yue and his entourage came to Chengmai County, preparing to live in Chengmai temporarily, and then wanted to contact the leader of the rebels to see if they could appease each other.

Poor Chengmai County up to the county officials, down to the people, first by Huang Mengjia siege city, then by the county order to death, and then by the court army harassed, in the end this "Li chaos" not only was not exterminated, but also defeated the official army, even the city had to pinch its nose to appease. After several tosses, both officials and ordinary people are looking forward to the end of this matter as soon as possible, whether it is exterminated or appeased, anyway, it can be calmed down - Chengmai County really can't afford to withstand more tosses.

Zhao Yue found the county Cheng and others to learn more about the ins and outs.

However, Chengmai County knows very little about Xia Nan and others, and only knows about Huang Mengjia. I heard that the cause of the incident came from the late county commander Lin Sanfeng, because of the rebellion, which led to a grudge with Huang Mengjia, which led to this "Li Chaos", not only the county was attacked, so that he finally died at the hands of Huang Mengjia, Zhao Yue couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"It's really a mouse-eyed person, for the sake of small profits, it should be a big help from the government, and he was forced to make trouble! Lin Sanfeng's death is not a pity, it just affects us and others, it is really hateful! ”

Thinking of Lin Sanfeng's absurdity, he forced a strong village, not only harmed Chengmai and Lingao counties, but also buried the 3,000 army that Fucheng put together, and he had to run to appease him, the more Zhao Yue thought about it, the more angry he became, he couldn't help but curse with hatred in his heart, if Lin Sanfeng came back from the dead, I am afraid that he would be scolded to death again.

In fact, Zhao Yue didn't know the truth of the matter, he didn't know that Huang Mengjia was just a cover, and there were other people behind the scenes.

After the defeat of Wang Liangdong of the Thousand Households of Qiongshan, in order to cover up his incompetence, he exaggerated the scale of the rebellious people, saying that he gathered thousands of Li people, and "climbed over the mountains and mountains, as if walking on flat ground", "hidden in the mountains and dense forests, unable to prevent it", and at the same time concealed the matter of Xia Nanhe and the escort team.

In ancient times, the means of information transmission were very backward, and the situation on the front line depended on the mouths of the generals who led the troops. Even if you are the emperor, if there are no factories and guards such as Jinyiwei, you will still be deceived by civil officials and generals, and black and white will be reversed. The prefect's yamen didn't know that the thousands of Li people scattered all over the mountains were completely made up by Wang Liangdong, from the prefect Qin Bingyan to Zhao Yue and other officials, they always thought that the object of appeasement was the Li people who gathered people to make trouble.

Fortunately, the clues provided by Gou Ergui at the beginning made Zhao Yue not too outrageous, and he remembered that Gou Ergui had said that the Li people colluded with Lingao Township Yong to bring disaster to the township. This Huang Mengjia must be hidden between the mountains and mountains, and it is extremely difficult to find, so it is better to start from Lingao Township.

Zhao Yue was unwilling to risk his life, so he wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Lingao County, instructing the Lingao County Ya to restrain Xiang Yong, and contact Huang Mengjia, the "thief leader", through Xiang Yong, to discuss the matter of appeasement.

Inside Hujiazhuang.

Xia Nan was stunned when he read the letter sent by Qian Youyu. He never expected that after the battle with the officials and the army, the officials who came to appease him still couldn't figure out who the main owner was. He couldn't help but ask Master Qian: "What the hell is going on, is the prefect Yamen pretending to be stupid or really not knowing?" ”

Qian Youyu didn't dare to slack off, thought for a while, and replied uncertainly: "Xu is the general who led the troops was afraid of being held accountable for the defeat, so he hid the matter, and then deduced that it was the Li people who made a rebellion?" "I have to say that Master Qian has assisted several county magistrates after all, and he has been immersed in officialdom for a long time, plus he is a local indigenous and familiar with local affairs, and the truth is guessed by him.

Xia Nan still didn't quite understand, so he turned his head and asked Sima De: "What's the difference between me and Li Ren?" Is this an escape from responsibility? ”

Sima De didn't know much about the affairs of Qiongzhou, but Qian Youyu replied: "Master Xia doesn't know, since the opening of the government in Qiongzhou, the disputes between Li and Han have continued, not to mention that there have been dozens of large and small Li rebellions in the Wanli period alone. In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, the Li people in Anding Li were in chaos, and the Li people in Danzhou, Yazhou, Lingao, and Chengmai counties responded, gathered 10,000 people, and then mobilized the Guangdong army and Guangxi wolf soldiers to suppress it. Because the Li people are familiar with the terrain and most of them are hidden between the mountains, it is extremely inconvenient to conquer and suppress, so the imperial court will make a rebellion against the Li people, and if it can be appeased, it will definitely be appeased, and it is also a defeat, and if it is a defeat in the Li eradication, the responsibility will be much smaller......"
