After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Why did Shen Qingjun seal the furnace?

Because if she continues to practice, she can't guarantee that things will develop in that direction... Too many armors will increase the risk of exposure and encourage ambition, and more than 200 pairs of armors are within her control!

Gao Lingying also agreed with Shen Qingjun's decision and admired his master for not having any advantage... After all, seeing the second armor being made in an instant, even he couldn't make up his mind to let the craftsmen seal the furnace.

Shen Qingjun, who is currently on the carriage, appears to be wearing a crown and a mysterious uniform, but underneath his clothes he is actually wearing armor made of new blast furnace iron, and is equipped with a sword that cuts iron like clay.

Even the 200 people closest to her appeared to be wearing ordinary armor, but in fact they all had new armor...

The only difference between the old and new armor is the quality of the materials, but the format is the same... Even the appearance and color Shen Qingjun asked the craftsmen to make it old, in order to be the same as the original armor...

It is precisely because of such strict defense that we don't have to worry about someone suddenly assassinating us at close range, or shooting cold arrows from a high place... Someone assassinating us can give the guards around us time to react...

Why so careful?Because the Liu family has a history of assassination!

In addition, the streets are surrounded by her troops patrolling. It only takes a stick of incense to surround and attack possible enemies... maybe they can follow the clues... and eliminate the roots...

Of course, Shen Qingjun can only get rid of the hidden forces left by the Liu family in Wuwei City. If he really wants to take action against the behemoth Liu family, he will have to use a large army.

And it was because Shen Qingjun had decided to use the army to get rid of the Liu family as soon as possible that he took this action.

Because when she dispatched the army to attack the Liu family, although some troops would be left to garrison Wuwei City, the departure of the army would definitely deplete the strength of Wuwei City, which might give opportunities to the forces hiding in the dark... …

In order not to give the Liu family a chance to cooperate with outsiders, Shen Qingjun wanted to see if he could lure the snake out of the hole and get rid of the hidden influence of the Liu family in Wuwei City!

In addition to showing off her courage, bragging about martial arts, and showing her presence while patrolling the streets and cities this time, she may not have had the idea of ​​fishing for law enforcement!pity……

After walking one street after another, passing through one city gate after another, I exited the East City Gate again and walked around the four city gates. Unfortunately, no accidents happened!

'Don't be fooled by the Liu family's hidden power in the city! '

It has been more than two months since she arrived in Wuwei County. Although the Liu family did not resist her arrival openly, the various stumbling blocks overtly and covertly made her really annoying. Moreover, the Liu family also secretly raised troops... which is intolerable!

It is a pity that the Liu family seems to have completely retreated from Wuwei City, which is controlled by her army. But when I say this, no one in Wuwei County believes it, let alone Shen Qingjun!

A family like the Liu family, which has been entrenched in Wuwei City for hundreds of years, is so unlikely to leave a secret hand in the city!They are just afraid of her army, so the Liu family's forces hidden in the city have always been peaceful!

Of course, it is precisely because of their composure that it is impossible for Shen Qingjun to find them and get rid of them. With hundreds of years of absolute control, the Liu family can erase all traces...

'I don't know what evil the Liu family are holding back?What's the idea?It's completely inconsistent with the Liu family's previous tactics against those county guards! '

'What an opportunity!There was no cover on all sides of her canopy car... Why didn't the Liu family come to assassinate her when she had such a good opportunity?Waste!I don’t know how the Liu family dared to raise and train soldiers privately in the canyon with such courage...' As she walked, Shen Qingjun thought in his heart, sighing with regret many times...

Of course Shen Qingjun didn't know that the Liu family did not arrange an assassination. Of course, she was thinking of gaining both people and wealth, so she gave up on this God-given opportunity. Otherwise, her method of luring the snake out of its hole might actually catch some fish.

Another month and a half has passed since Liao Qilong took refuge with Shen Qingjun and revealed that the Liu family had hidden troops and raised troops. It was the second month after Shen Qingjun came to Wuwei...

After receiving Shen Qingjun's investigation mission, Shen Li and his men relied on the amount of food the Liu family delivered to the canyon every ten days, as well as the number of smoke piles lit...

There is also the amount of human and animal excrement that is transported out of the valley and dumped in other places every day... It is estimated that there are about 1 Tibetan soldiers and horses in the valley...

Although this method of looking at human and animal feces is a bit dirty and smelly, it is indeed effective. After all, no matter whether it is a human or a horse, it is inevitable to eat, drink and defecate...

And because the people and horses of the Liu family are all in the same valley, the environment must be kept clean, otherwise they will be prone to diseases... We can't hesitate to transport excrement out of the valley. The amount of excrement produced by the people and horses every day is also approximate, which makes it easier to determine the number of people.

At the same time, the place where feces is dumped is deliberately far away from the canyon and unguarded in order not to pollute the water source. It is still easy to check.

The Liu family thought that by setting up sentries and patrolling everywhere, no one would be able to find out specific information, but they didn't know that there are always many ways in the army to roughly estimate the number of troops...

Unless the general has experience in concealing numbers and intends to conceal it, it is obvious that the general in the Liu family valley does not...

In this way, it only took a month for Shen Li to find out the people in the valley...

After Shen Qingjun got the Liu family's number of troops ascertained by Shen Li, he immediately summoned the main retainers such as Murong Wugong, Gao Lingying and other six generals and staff officers to inform them of the matter and discuss how to deal with it. The views of these six people were also consistent with Shen Qingjun... …

The Liu family must solve it as soon as possible!The army must be dispatched to solve it!

Of course, it was also at this time that Fang Jiwei and others understood the reason why Shen Qingjun insisted on buying a large number of horses. It turned out to be to prepare for war!

After the monarch and his ministers unified their wills, they began to secretly prepare for the war. After the food, grass, horses, etc. were secretly mobilized, Shen Qingjun was going to send out the army to start the war...

However, before the army is sent out to fight, it is still necessary to unify its thinking.

Therefore, on March 28, she held a meeting of retainers. This time it was no longer a small meeting. Everyone under her who could be named came to participate.

Shen Qingjun was wearing a lavender cloud-patterned Han Dynasty skirt and a gold crown on her head. She was sitting on the main seat. After seeing everyone had arrived and prepared, she pretended to lament:

"Sigh... The Liu family controls the entire county's commercial routes, trade, and population, and secretly colludes with the Qiang leaders to hide troops in the canyons. Their intentions are obvious, and their power is so great... I, the Duke of Wuwei, am like a puppet to Wuwei. I want to How can you teach me about change?"

Shen Qingjun's words were not false. In addition to going undercover to observe the public sentiment and conducting fishing inspections with great fanfare, she had also done many things to regain power during this period...

<divclass="contentadv">For example, the following order summoned the county magistrates and county lieutenants of Wuwei County to come to Wuwei County to report their duties to her, and sent people to clear the land of the father-in-law, conduct population checks, etc... I want to thoroughly check the land of the household registration, and prepare for future collection. Tax as a basis...

Of course, she also knew that it would be useless to do this before the Liu family was still there or before she really showed her muscles. Moreover, the Liu family had secretly raised troops in the valley, and they always regarded Wuwei as their own, and would not let her accomplish these things smoothly. , to take back the power...

However, we still have to make a show to confuse the Liu family. What's more, even if we fail, it's not a useless effort. We can also mobilize the civilized and martial arts of our subordinates and make them share the same enemy...

But I really didn't expect that the Liu family would be so arrogant and arrogant... Officials in the entire county were afraid of the Liu family more than they were afraid of her!

She ordered that the county magistrates and county lieutenants of Wuwei County be summoned to Wuwei County to report their duties to her... In the entire eighteen counties of Wuwei County, only two county magistrates arrived as scheduled, and the county magistrates of the other three counties arrived as scheduled. He was accidentally killed by a robber on the way...

And with the precedent of these three unlucky county magistrates, other county magistrates who had long been ignored by the county captain all excused themselves from illness and did not dare to set off.

Now that Shen Qingjun knows it, he doesn't blame those cowardly county magistrates for finding excuses to get sick!She was suppressed everywhere in Wuwei, and these county magistrates were definitely worse than her!

Because of the free national conditions of the Wei Dynasty, under the mutual compromise between the local powerful families and the central government, the county captains were generally held by local powerful men, and the county magistrates were floating officials assigned by the central government.

This system of appointing officials has caused the county magistrate to be suppressed too much by the county lieutenant... Although the county magistrate is the top leader in a county, he still has too many helplessness. Moreover, most of the people who can serve as county lieutenants in Wuwei County It is inextricably linked to the Liu family.

After all, she came with an army, so there is no problem with her personal safety!Even if they are afraid of the Liu family plotting to assassinate them, and these county magistrates can only bring a few guards to take office, how can they fight against the local wealthy families...

Therefore, Shen Qingjun sent troops to escort the county magistrate to Wuwei, but even so, only thirteen people came.

As for the county captain?Even if the county magistrate pretends to be sick, she has an excuse at least. She summoned the county captains to report their duties, and only three county captains set off. Why are these three exceptions? It is because these three counties are not far from her county seat, and the large army You can move at any time, right under your nose, don't dare to ignore her until now!

Others simply disappeared, as if they had not been received. The person sent to deliver the message did not come back either, and was probably killed.

All right!If you don't come when I ask you to report on your work, then she will go and check it herself... She sent people to various counties to ask for household registration and land. Because she learned the lesson from the previous time, she even sent an army to ask for it this time!Vow to make it happen...

As a result, only the classics from the six nearby counties were brought to her, and all the others were burned down.

These six counties were close to Wuwei City, so her army could catch up... The land where the household registration fields were burned was gone, so she sent people again to create registration records and establish land. As a result, those who went down were "diao" before they even reached the fields. "The people" came back with wounds all over their bodies.

Of course, doing these things is not in vain. On the one hand, it can confuse the Liu family and at the same time facilitate her mobilization of personnel and materials. At the same time, through these things, the forces of the county government and the Liu family are destined to be at odds with each other...

As for the Liu family's purpose of doing this, it seems that they want to divert Shen Qingjun's attention from their family by claiming illness from the county magistrate, evading the county captain, and resisting the people... The result seems to be good, Shen Qingjun and the local county magistrate and the people are at odds...

But in fact, Shen Qingjun's attention has always been on the Liu family. Her focus being diverted is the reason why she confused the Liu family. Shen Qingjun has always known that as long as the Liu family is eliminated, she will be the only one in Wuwei.

These methods of the Liu family made her more convinced that the Liu family's land tiger was indeed well-deserved. She, the Duke of Wuwei, said that the entire Wuwei County belonged to her, but she knew that her orders would not be able to leave Wuwei City. If it weren't for the army, With it in hand, she can't even control Wuwei City...

Because at this moment, in the hearts of the people of Wuwei City, the Liu family is more majestic than her, and their words are better than her!Unless the Liu family is completely eliminated after hundreds of years of accumulated prestige, the Liu family will always be the god in the hearts of the people of Wuwei!

Before Shen Qingjun arrived in Wuwei County, she knew that Wuwei County was a hard pie and not tasty, but she didn't expect that she would not even pretend to want to nibble on some foam!

Of course, Wuwei County is not easy to conquer, so we can’t blame Emperor Shao Wu for tricking her. If Wuwei County was a good fiefdom, Emperor Shao Wu would not even be willing to give it to his own son, let alone a foreign minister like her!

However, this also made Shen Qingjun more stubborn. She had to eat the iron pie of Wuwei!

Although if two tigers fight, one of them will be injured, but there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and she is convinced that she is the only one who can survive!

Gather the retainers today to prepare for an attack on the Liu family!It just so happened... The Liu family had even found a reason for her to send troops - raising private soldiers secretly was a crime of conspiracy!

As soon as Shen Qingjun finished speaking, Murong Wugong stood up first and said, "My lord, the Liu family is raising private soldiers in the valley. The wolf's ambition must be eliminated! I ask the lord to send troops to fight against it..."

"My lord, I agree with General Murong's opinion. The Liu family not only has thousands of people to protect them, but they also secretly train their troops. They have had different ambitions for a long time. It's time to attack them with troops!" Gao Lingying waited for Murong Wu Gong to finish his words and stood up immediately. Express approval.

"I am stupid and not good at words. I swear an oath here. My lord has given me an order. There are 5000 troops trapped in the battle, and I will fight against my lord at any time." Huang Gong said, cupping his fists.

"I only promise my lord: fifteen thousand flying cavalry troops will be ready every day!" Xu Zhong looked at Shen Qingjun and said loudly.

"As for the military attack on the Liu family proposed by General Murong and Gao Staff, I second the proposal." Fang Jiwei came out to express his opinion.

"As for the military attack on the Liu family proposed by General Murong and Gao Gao, I also second the proposal." Li Yang came out immediately and expressed his approval...

"Very well, you all are those who dare to fight, but I still want to ask, does anyone else have any suggestions or opinions?" Shen Qingjun stood up and asked.

"I beg you for your orders. The Liu family secretly raised private soldiers and conspired to rebel. The crime will not be pardoned. My lord should mobilize troops to attack Liu as soon as possible!"

Although the other retainers were still confused, how could the Liu family be training their troops secretly?Didn't you hear anything?Aren't they currently keeping track of the population, clearing land and local officials and the common people in a battle of wits and courage?

But that didn't stop them from standing up and asking Shen Qingjun in unison to send troops to attack Liu.

After all, the lord's six most important civil and military retainers all expressed their opinions first, and unanimously said that they wanted to attack the Liu family, so they should understand...

Today, my lord, they are not here to ask them whether or how to deal with the Liu family, let alone teach her how to deal with the powerful Liu family.

Instead, he told them that after discussing with the six ministers, the Lord decided to attack the Liu family!
