In this situation, Zhou Shaoyu wants to break through the Lu family internally and take some shortcuts, but it doesn't matter, it just asks casually, although the development of the serious step by step is slower, but it is also the most exercised, and the newly recruited strong men always have to fight one or two tough battles to grow up.

"In short, the Lu family occupies a large area in the southeast in the county seat of Jingxian County, relying on the city wall on both sides, and on the other side, it has also built a square wall that is not low in height, as if there are some postures in the city. Chen Shuozhen then explained.

"In addition, I also thought about mixing with the city wall and throwing torches downward, but the city wall in the southeast is heavily guarded, so there is no chance to get close." Chen Shuozhen said again. "As for digging tunnels, the outside of the city wall is flat, and there is no place to hide, and there is no way to start, otherwise the distance will be far away, and it is easy to have accidents."

Hearing this, Cao Jie couldn't help but interject: "Hmph, this Lu family is a person who understands, and he knows that he has offended too many people and spares his life, so I don't believe that those people are really willing to work for the Lu family?" ”

"Really." Yang Miaozhen spread his hands and said helplessly: "The Lu family is not stupid, squeezing the people is squeezing the people, but the core of its guards is that they are all born to the family, of course, they are slaves, but the Lu family treats these people very well, and these Lu family children also know that they are nothing without the Lu family, and now, even if they are the slaves of the Lu family, they are one level higher than the people outside." So if anyone dares to fight the idea of the Lu family, these people will really work hard. ”

Zhou Shaoyu was also speechless when he heard it, don't look at the private soldiers at the core of the Lu family, that is, about 300 people, but these people are well-dressed and well-fed, relatively well-armed and well-equipped, and have a certain amount of training, they are really desperate, where are the yellow-faced and thin people who can win, Li Xiuning said clearly at the beginning, one of the elements of fighting a war is morale, there is no organized resistance, and as soon as there are many people who die, they will disperse, not to mention that there are not many people in the entire Chenghui Prefecture, let alone a small Jingxian County.

Besides, it is impossible to resist that everyone will impact the Lu family, and there are always a few who have the courage, so the Lu family has been safe and stable, if there is a foreign enemy, the people of Jingxian County will not be able to do it, they will definitely be coerced, the Lu family is not benevolent, but no matter how miserable, they can barely survive, and once there is a foreign place, the people are also afraid of slaughter and looting after the city is broken, so they can only participate in the defense.

However, from this point of view, the Lu family's actions this time are a bit deadly, it is a dry year, the harvest is quite low, and it will be harvested seven or eight percent all of a sudden, isn't that to cut off the people's way of life?

Since the Lu family has occupied Jingxian County for decades, it is certainly not short-sighted, so is there any reason behind this?

"What's going on in Chenghuizhou?" Zhou Shaoyu asked.

"According to the report from the spies five days ago, there is no movement in Fucheng, and it is still a three-legged three-legged family, and generally will not act rashly." Chen Shuozhen replied.

Just because there's no movement here, that doesn't mean there's no movement anywhere else.

Jingshi Jinling, the Empress Dowager Gao Yuyao suddenly got a large number of gold and silver financial reports from nowhere, and went to the inner treasury of the palace, filled the treasury, recruited troops and horses, and ordered the opening of Enke, not only the imperial examination, but also the martial arts were carried out in a high-profile manner, in addition, he also ordered his henchmen to secretly buy a large number of grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the price of grain rose again for a while.

In addition, the Imperial Shadow Guard (as a brocade guard) was also formed, and the people who were not convinced were suppressed, and every once in a while, which mansion was raided, although the process seemed turbulent, but in terms of time, Gao Yuyao's centralization of power has become more and more smooth, even if Gao is still seriously ill in bed, he is afraid that it will be difficult to suppress the comeback of Prime Minister Gao.

In the main hall, the young emperor sat on the throne very dishonestly and moved around, and in the future, the queen mother Gao Yuyao hung the curtain to listen to the government, sat upright, and hundreds of civil and military officials stood one after another.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, yesterday Zhang He, the left attendant of the official household department, has completed the raid of his house, and a total of 76 people have been arrested, 25 men and 51 women, a total of confiscated property, 1,374,200 taels of silver, 13 boxes of various treasures and antiques, and their associated land, totaling 3,152 acres." A well-dressed and fancy official came out to work. This is the new head of the Shadow Guard.

"He really deserves to be a good courtier of the emperor, now that the treasury is empty, just a squire, there are more than a million taels of silver alone!" Gao Yuyao's voice was cold, and he ordered without hesitation: "All the property belongs to the state treasury, all the land, as the imperial village, the Zhang family is full of beheading, the three clans are punished, and they must not be discussed again. The mourning family took the lead and donated 1 million taels to the national treasury, can you express it? ”

It's still real, it's direct. The ministers looked at each other, but they couldn't, as soon as the imperial shadow guard came out, they couldn't keep any secrets, and Zhang He, the former head of the household department, was a good example, it was originally fine, but he suddenly copied his house yesterday, not because he didn't want to intercede, but he didn't dare, and there were too many properties copied out. Second, this is not the first time that such a thing has happened, and often those who intercede will not end well.

They are not stupid, they know that this is the step given by Gao Yuyao, as long as the donation is enough, the past is not to blame, this makes the ministers breathe a sigh of relief, money is a foreign thing, as long as they are still in a high position, are they afraid?

"Weichen donated 800,000 taels of silver in order to pour out his family property!" Someone took the lead, and then followed the counts one by one, and in a short period of time, nearly eight million taels of silver were squeezed.

Gao Yuyao's face was expressionless, and she didn't know whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied.

In fact, everyone still has a doubt, but no one dares to ask, that is, where did Gao Yuyao get the money for the formation of the Imperial Shadow Guard, the recruitment of troops and the purchase of food, it is not a small amount of money, and at the moment, he can actually take out another million taels, which is really scary.

Gao Yuyao was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but everyone knows that Gao Yuyao and Gao Cheng are at odds with each other, and it can't be from the Gao family, so the question is, so a large sum of money can't be conjured out of thin air, right?

In the capital city of Shuzhou, Xiao Shen, the eldest princess of Shu, sat on the city wall, and Xiao Shen, the king of Shu of the Liang royal family next to her, sat aside, wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, and looked down, only to see that under the city wall, there were hundreds of people who were bound and kneeling on the ground, some cried, some laughed, some were silent, and some shouted grievances.

These people are either rebellious or collaborators, of course, Xiao Auntie herself admits that there are also civil and military officials who really do not obey discipline, the whole country of Daliang is in drought, and there is a large-scale rebellion in the territory of Shuzhou, production is almost stagnant, Xiao Auntie wants to raise an army, and she has to attack some rich people, in addition, the reason why she wants to be beheaded together is also to deter and deter, and tell the restless people in Shuzhou to be honest and not to jump around.

"Brother Shen is hot?" Xiao Jiwen was dressed in a military uniform, and her head was even stained with blood, not long ago, she was the general who wiped out the last wave of large-scale rebellion, and there was no need for her to personally levy it in the future.

A lieutenant was reading the charges of hundreds of people below in the city, but Xiao Auntie smiled and played with Xiao Shen, the king of Shu.

Shu King Xiao Shen is now only eighteen or nineteen years old, but his appearance is handsome, but his face is a little pale, and he is also a dog and horse.

I have to say that this idea is extremely naïve, but how else to say that the current Daliang royal family is a group of straw bales.

Externally crowned as the king, and given great rights, is there really such a good thing in the world? From the general point of view, everything is in Gao Yuyao's calculations, and after throwing away the burden, Gao Yuyao's centralized means have become more and more sharp, and it will not be long before he can completely control half of the country in the east.

As for the current King of Shu, hehe.

"Return, go back to Sister Huang, no, it's not hot, it's just that you're unwell, sweating, sweating." Xiao Shen stammered, he had fun in Shuzhou Mansion for a while, but he never thought that as soon as Xiao Shen's wife came back, he invited him to watch such a big play, and after thinking of it, hundreds of people's heads rolled to the ground, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.

"Let's go to Meilou again." Xiao Jiwen smiled faintly and said: "This duty, it's not just a woman's business, men also have a little bit of responsibility, although they are happy for a while, but they died young thanks to kidney fire, isn't it a panic?" ”

Is this going to slaughter yourself? Xiao Shen was shocked, and almost cried: "Sister Huang, what you said is, brother, my brother doesn't dare, I will build a temple in the palace in the future, and it is good to meditate and recuperate." ”

"You are the king of Shu, who can control you if you are willing to do so?" Xiao Yuwen suddenly lost interest. This is the current Daliang royal family, there is no one available, as for the little emperor, heh, with Gao Yuyao there, I am afraid that it will be abolished, and there is no need to even bother, just let people play all day long, and directly 'kill'.

Xiao Yuwen stood up, stood on the wall, looked at the city quite coldly, and raised her hand, interrupting the middle official's reading.

"This world is the world of my beam!" A strong wind blew, and the red robe behind Xiao Yaowen flew. "This beam is my Xiao clan's beam!"

"I think that at the beginning, Taizu asked for his life for the people, was in a cage, had to raise his arms and shout, and there were countless responders, conquering the south and the north, sweeping the Quartet, administering benevolent government, rejecting foreign enemies, founding the Great Liang River, and creating a thousand years of prosperity. Gaozu ascended the throne, subordinated to the people, and killed countless criminal officials; Personally conquered the Turks, went deep into the steppe, surrendered to the hundred countries of the Western Regions, and came from all directions to congratulate the ......"

"Three hundred years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the girder is declining day by day, why! Act of God? Man-made disaster? Or am I Shaw willing to fall? The temple has no intention of pursuing it, the wish of the temple is to restore the prosperity of my Liang, and now I am the glory of the Xiao family, so that the people will be rich and show their faces, and let my Liang survive forever in the world! ”

"From now on, I, the eldest princess of Shu, Xiao Jiwen, am determined to take Shuzhou as the foundation and restore the prosperity of my Liang as my own responsibility, and I will never retreat!"

"Kill the disrespectful! Disrespectful, kill! Offenders, kill! Wrongdoers, kill! Rebels, kill! Rebel, kill! Scourge, kill! Enemies, kill! Intruder, kill! Mess with my Liang dynasty politicians, kill! ”

The cold light flashed, the sword was unsheathed, Xiao Jiwen held the long sword in her hand, and shouted: "Yi'er and others will sacrifice my Liang Dragon Banner and execute it!" Chop! ”

With an order, hundreds of knives and axes swung down their broadswords in unison, and the blood flashed, and the scene was shocking.

"Long live Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Shu Kingdom, long live, long live!" All the soldiers present knelt down and shouted.

"Long live Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Shu Kingdom, long live, long live!" For the officials, the people knelt down in fear.

"Long live Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Shu Kingdom, long live, long live!" Xiao Shen, the king of Shu, softened, suddenly slipped off his seat and knelt on the ground.

Zhou Zaixing, who was standing not far behind Xiao Ji's seat, frowned, gritted his teeth, and finally knelt down, not because of his small dignity and cause Xiao Ji's dissatisfaction, which affected his young master's plans, but if it goes on like this, Xiao Jiwen will be a very tricky opponent.

Well, in fact, even if Zhou Shaoyu is present, at most he will be shocked, and there may not be many other ideas, one wants to reproduce the glory of the beam, and the other wants to destroy the beam, Xiao Jiaowen and Zhou Shaoyu are destined to walk on opposite sides, in this case, whether it is a strong opponent or not, they will have to face it in the end, so why do you want to do so much.

It is likely that most of the people who will be shocked will be born, 'Is this Nima reading the heroine of the Internet?' That's pretty much the idea. But I have to say that Xiao Jiwen at this moment is indeed very charming.

At the same time, in a small county in the north of Shaanxi, the Turkic army outside the city has been besieging for seven days, and after a period of strong attack, they finally retreated and rested, and the city was quickly counted.

Qiu Mingyuan stood at the head of the wall, his eyes were deep, the siege was seven days, he had only a handful of time to rest, seven days ago, the Turkic outpost cavalry arrived, and all the officials such as the county commander here disappeared, only one official who was promoted from the official step by step to the county lieutenant stayed, and there were only more than 2,000 soldiers available in the city, and it was a miracle that Qiu Mingyuan was good at defending to this day.

"How many dead and wounded are there today?" Qiu Mingyuan felt the footsteps behind him, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"General, 813 people were killed and 521 wounded, and 127 soldiers were killed and 13 wounded."

It's not that the soldiers don't do their best, but in fact, with today's casualties, the available soldiers are only more than 300 people.

"General, abandon the city, if you can't defend it, even if the people in the city are not afraid of death, but the food in the city is ......"

"Shut up! Don't shake the morale of the army! There will be a next time, and there will be no forgiveness! Qiu Mingyuan stopped, even so, he knew that now was the limit.

The Turks were good at slaughter, because the people had no choice but to fight desperately, but everyone who could take up arms more or less participated in the battle, or demolished the house in the back to use it as a falling stone defense.

If this continues, Qiu Mingyuan is confident that he can defend for a longer time, but the food is ...... Who doesn't know the severity of the drought right now.

However, at this moment, a herald hurriedly came running, with a little excitement on his face.

"Report, general, there is a person outside the city, who is said to be an old friend of the general, and can secretly transport food into the city to help the general defend the city!"

Pitfall? Or is it the Gospel?

Qiu Mingyuan's eyes narrowed.

Continue to rub the net at the commissary
