Those things about fighting wits and courage with the little grudges

The news that Gu Nanzhao escaped from the royal city with thousands of private soldiers on the day of the autumn banquet spread in Yuanqi.

"General, general?" Yun Shu called Gu Nanzhao, he was either in a daze or giggling inexplicably for the past few days, his brain is not working well, stop being stupid.

"what?"

Gu Nan recalled the strategy of retreating to advance. He didn't believe that the little emperor dared to lock him again.But... rubbing that person's sleep is extraordinarily fragrant.

Gu Nanzhao laughed foolishly again, Yun Shu saw that he felt uncomfortable, the little emperor actually put Gu Nanzhao under house arrest in the inner palace, not to mention that Gu Nanzhao was mad at him, if he put it on him, he might He bit his tongue and killed himself.

"That's right." Gu Nanzhao thought of something and hurried away. "Big master! Are you still used to the days of marching?"

The head of the family kept a straight face, and at first it was fine to get on Gu Nanzhao's thief ship, but now he has entered his thief's den again.He slept soundly that day, but when he woke up again, he was already tied to a horse. Apart from him, the brothers from the village in the western suburbs were also forced to escape from the royal city together. None of them escaped.

It has been three days of marching, and he came to ask people if they are not used to it, why didn't he ask people if they were willing?

"Big master, follow Gu, Gu will not treat you badly, don't worry, Dongjiao Village will be rebuilt, and the household registration department will re-register the household registration, and the household registration of the two villages will be counted in it. Go back, you are innocent Body, equipped with fertile land. The military salary is paid as usual, is Gu's recruitment conditions satisfactory?"

"Second brother..." What if you are not satisfied?The whole Yuan Qi knew that Gu Nanzhao had rebelled. They couldn't go back now, and they were counted as rebels. It would be painful to stay, and they would have to flee if they left.

"Brother, you have to be called a general in the army." Li Erniu reminded the leader with a silly smile.

"Oh..." The head of the family couldn't tell because he was suffering, so he could only turn his head and ignore these people.

Gu Nanzhao gave Li Erniu a thumbs-up, and then saw that the big boss ignored him, so he drove to find Wang Mazi, and repeated what he had just said to the big boss.

"Hmph! The imperial lackey!"

"Hey? Brother Wang is wrong, Gu is now a traitor who defected."

Gu Nanzhao led people all the way to the dry land, and along the way sent Yunshu to pretend to be a merchant, and went into the city to exchange polished rice for coarse grains and wheat bran.There was a team of thousands of people when we started, but this meeting has become a team of nearly [-] people without knowing it.

The head of the family looked dumbfounded, "General Gu, tell me the truth, how many private soldiers have you raised?"

"Not much, not much, just over [-]?"

"What did the general say?" More than [-] private soldiers... how terrifying...

"Then... we have to wait for a while? There are still tens of thousands of people left."

Yun Shu smiled: "No need, occupying Wenyuan County, these soldiers are more than enough."

"That's right, I'm the mighty God of War!" Gu Nanzhao said proudly, with high spirits all over his body, who would have thought that this person was still looking like he was dying a while ago?

Since he came out in the name of rebellion, Gu Nanzhao no longer considered covering up anything, and led his army straight to the dry land of Wenyuan.

It was still far away from the dry land, and when they encountered a team of victims fleeing from the famine, Gu Nanzhao stopped them, and then arranged for the soldiers to cook brown rice porridge on the spot, and waited until the people were full before asking about the situation.

"Old man, what's the situation in the dry land now?"

"I can't mention it, I can't mention it...Master Jun, don't ask me, I don't know anything!"

The old man looked terrified, and he didn't dare to say a word. Gu Nanzhao looked at the other people, and they all bowed their heads in silence.It was clear to me that they were people who were afraid of the imperial court.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not someone sent by the court."

With so many soldiers and horses, who can believe that they are not from the imperial court?

Until Gu Nanzhao's "South" military flag was blown up by the wind, a man walked out of the crowd, and he asked, "Master, are you General Gu Nanzhao?"

"It's down."

Hearing Gu Nanzhao's answer, the man cried hysterically. "General Gu really turned his back on him, General Gu really turned his back on it! God bless me, Yuan Qi, God bless me, Yuan Qi!"

"What happened to the dry land? Please tell me in detail."

"This... this... I'm ashamed to say it, but I am the Chancellor of Handi County."

The dry season came early this year, and the dry land has not rained for a long time, and the field has lost harvest. The county magistrate reported it to the police, but only got a reply that the grain tax was paid.At the beginning, he was able to cope with it. The county magistrate became a seller and sent people to buy food everywhere, but later the price of food rose, and he had more than enough energy.

Afterwards, a dry land relief granary was opened, and it barely lasted for a period of time. When he couldn't make it through, the county magistrate went to Wenyuan County in person to meet Wenyuanhou begging for disaster relief.

But he didn't know that Marquis Wen Yuan was a tiger with a smiling face, he promised well on the surface, and he even pretended to go around collecting grain and asking merchants to donate grain.When the food was ready, they coaxed people back, saying that it would be delivered in a few days, but they didn't see the food relief until last month, let alone the dry land.

The news that the court wanted to massacre the people in the dry land to reduce the burden spread like wildfire. Now that some people have risen in the dry land, the county magistrate took advantage of the chaos to bring them out.Marquis Wen Yuan left a sentence: It was all the meaning of the superiors, so people went to Wangcheng. This behavior is even more news that the imperial court wants to massacre the city and reduce the burden.

The disaster in the dry land has affected the entire Wenyuan County. They escaped. The poor people in Wenyuan County don't know the truth, and they are still waiting for the relief food.

After listening, Gu Nanzhao lowered his head and pondered...

Marquis Wen Yuan, this calculation is really powerful.

One reason: asking merchants for food by taking advantage of the disaster situation is justifiable, and it also gets a good reputation.The first emperor took over the military power of the prince's private soldiers, but it does not mean that the city guards from all over the place will not be bought by the prince. He will not say what he will do with the grain he collects.

Second: When these disaster victims flee to other states and counties, the court's "bad deeds" will definitely spread...

Thinking of this, Gu Nanzhao didn't dare to think about the next thing. He glanced around. These people would starve to death before they went to the next place. Gu Nanzhao persuaded people to follow them to Wenyuan County. Among those people are listening.

The matter of Gu Nan recruiting private soldiers was an unexpected joy for Marquis Wen Yuan. At first, he sent Qi Lanjia in to steal the soldier amulet, but he is a worthless thing, not to mention bewitching the little emperor, even his body is Can't get close.

It's all right now, don't wait for Wenyuan County to revolt, Gu Nanzhao's side, the little emperor has to send troops to fight against it.The more chaotic Yuan Qi is, the better for him.

It's just... the little emperor really didn't intend to let him go back, but intended to cut his fief and let him be idle in the royal city.It's fine not to let him go back, anyway, Wenyuan County is a mess, and now everything is ready and only owes Dongfeng.

That day, he had already obtained the general defense of the royal city from Dingguogong, and now he had sent out the soldier talisman, and without the soldier talisman, no one could mobilize Yuanqi's army.

"Your Highness, are you all right?"

To say that Marquis Wen Yuan is really capable, all his subordinates broke into the palace and asked him to replace Qi Lanjia out of the inner palace. If you don't look carefully, you really can't recognize the little eunuch in front of you as Qi Lanjia .

"Your Highness, this matter cannot be delayed any longer..."

Hmph, what an embroidered pillow, how could Lord Zhehe have taken such a fancy to such a thing? In the end, he was the one who contributed...

"My Highness knows it, you don't need to say it. Don't think that Your Highness doesn't know what you are thinking. You can't do this alone. Don't worry, I agree to your conditions, and I, Zhehe, will agree to you. "

The name of King Wenyuan is enough to make this person do this with all his heart.

Qi Langa straightened her cuffs, her eyes full of arrogance

"It's you, your little emperor wants to abolish the law that exempts dukes from capital punishment, so you should think about how to protect yourself."

"Actually, it's not the case. Gu Nanzhao has rebelled now, and the little emperor will definitely deal with this matter first."

"If you little emperor, don't you plan to move Gu Nanzhao first? He was someone else's pillow anyway."

Marquis Wenyuan shook his head and smiled: "There has been an uprising in Wenyuan, and it won't be long before the news that the little emperor doesn't care about the lives of the people, as soon as this happens, it will be too late for the little emperor to curry favor with the duke and secure the throne. Let's attack the prince."

Qi Langjia looked at him, and it really...was not a good thing.This is his own emperor, who actually set up dead ends everywhere.

"Your Highness, please hurry up and get the soldier talisman."

"Hmph, I know it. I didn't know there was such a Gu Nanzhao before, so I took my time. Just wait, your little emperor will be taken down by me sooner or later."

Now, I really want to see the little emperor's face, what it looks like when he cries...
