Chapter 252 South County War
After Shi Zhipei killed Yan Wenfu and Yuan Penghai, Nanzhou County actually calmed down strangely. Not only did the Yuan family have no Eastern territory, but even the officials from the Yuan family cooperated extremely well. When executing Shi Zhipei's order, they didn't even pay any discount, as if they had become selfless and good officials overnight.
Although Shi Zhipei knew that there must be something wrong with the Yuan family being so calm, he was not easy to have an attack with the Yuan family as they cooperated. He could only open a porridge shed to help the victims while asking the people from the East Factory to keep a close eye on the Yuan family to prevent any problems.
And under this strange calm, undercurrents were indeed surging. In a house in the city, a young man who looked like a scholar was looking at a strong man under his command.
"Have the food that the Yuan family promised to give is in place?"
The strong man replied respectfully: "Go back to the young master, there are a total of 200,000 stones, all in our hands."
"That's good."
The young man nodded and asked again: "What does the Yuan family say on the other side of the military armor?"
"There are soldiers and armors on the other side..." The strong man hesitated, and he paused before answering: "The head of the Yuan family said that the Yuan family does not have soldiers and armors, so they cannot help us in this regard."
"Old fox, still at the beginning and end."
The young man snorted coldly, obviously a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say much, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I didn't expect him."
"This old fox seems to have a hot temper, but in fact, it is a timid mouse. It is already an unexpected surprise to be able to provide us with some food and grass. Next, I won't ask them to turn to us. As long as they remain neutral, we will have no obstacles in Nanjun."
"I should thank the censor for this matter." The strong man smiled and agreed, "If he hadn't killed Yuan Penghai, the Yuan family wouldn't have agreed to our conditions so easily."
"Don't underestimate this stone cultivation."
The young man shook his head slowly and said with a hint of respect in his tone: "This man is useful, brave and resourceful. Not only does he shocked and killed Yan Wenfu and the others and shocked the Yuan family, but he is also a good player in rectifying the administration of the government. If it weren't for us, the disaster in Nanjun would have been stopped."
Speaking of this, the young man changed his mind and said, "So we can't let him continue. If he waits for him to feed all the refugees, the people will not have the courage to rebel."
"I inform Zhu Cheng and others and immediately raise an uprising, using food as bait to rebel."
"Young Master, isn't it too urgent to raise trouble now?"
The strong man hesitated. Although the White Lotus Sect has developed believers, those believers are refugees with little combat effectiveness, which is not enough to capture the county town.
“Can’t wait any longer.”
The young man shook his head and said, "There has been news from the capital. Qi Xiu has brought 1,600 elite soldiers to the south county. It should be for the White Lotus Sect. If they arrive, it will be difficult to remember things again."
"Only one thousand six hundred people?"
The strong man was obviously a little surprised, not because there were too many people, but because there were too few people. Once Zhu Cheng and his team rebelled, there would be at least tens of thousands, or just one thousand six hundred, and they would be drowned.
"Not one thousand six hundred people, but one thousand six hundred warriors."
Looking at the strong man disapproving, the young man said with a serious expression: "If they were left alone, Zhu Cheng's mobs would not be able to stop their beheadings at all."
"this……"
The strong man was stunned for a moment, then nodded fiercely and said, "I understand, Young Master, after Zhu Cheng and others rebelled, I will immediately take people to intercept the army."
"Need not."
The young man waved his hand and said, "You just need to tell Zhu Cheng this news, and then ask Zhu Cheng to contact Jiang Xiu and the others, so that they can jointly respond to the enemy, and tell Zhu Cheng that if necessary, they can give their subordinates to Jiang Xiu."
"Give it to Jiang Xiu?"
The strong man was a little difficult to understand, "Young Master, those ungrateful guys Jiang Xiu, relying on his own strength, have never taken you seriously. Why did you ask Zhu Cheng to give them the people?"
"It's all just a mob."
The young man showed a trace of disdain on his face, and it was obvious that he did not take Jiang Xiu seriously. "The power was given to Jiang Xiu in order to make him less suspicious and concentrate on dealing with the people of the court at that time."
"As for not taking me seriously, I don't care at all."
The young man sneered, with a cold voice in his gentle words, "They are just some baits. When the Yulin Army comes to quell the rebellion, do you really think they can survive?"
"I understand, young master."
The strong man felt a chill in his heart, and he didn't dare to say much to the young man. He hurriedly said, "I'll inform Zhu Cheng and the others now and let him prepare to revenge."
"Wait."
Seeing the strong man leaving, the young man called him again and said, "Take some iron guards into Zhu Cheng's men and help them if necessary. I'm worried that these wastes may not be able to stop the 1,600 warriors in joining forces."
"I understand." The strong man nodded, and saw that the young man had no instructions, then turned around and left.
After the strong man left, the young man looked at the sky and said to himself: "It seems that the master has made a good guess. The late emperor still has a backup plan, but these 1,600 warriors should be the last trump card of the late emperor, right?"
"After these 600 people were surrounded by me in the county city, the one in the capital should have only 30,000 Yulin Army left, right?"
The young man turned to look in the direction of the capital, "I really want to know what you will choose by that time."
Thinking of this, a trace of heat flashed in the young man's eyes. The reason why he did not directly attack these 1,600 people was to hide his strength.
In his opinion, these 1,600 people were just unexpected gains. His real goal was the 30,000 Yulin Army in the capital. As long as the Yulin Army dispatched by the capital did not exceed 10,000, he would be confident of eating these Yulin Army.
At that time, the court, which had only 20,000 Yulin Army left in his hand, could not do anything at all. Even if Nanjun was in chaos, they would not dare to send troops to suppress it easily.
If the chaos in Nanjun cannot be curbed, the chaos will soon affect Bingjun and Yongjun. By then, the real chaos in the world will be.
"The chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty should start with me, Bai Changqiu!"
The young man, that is, Bai Changqiu, was a little excited, "When there is prosperity, there will be decay, and when there is prosperity, there will be decline. It is time for the eight hundred years of the Great Zhou Dynasty to change its master."
...
Shortly after Bai Changqiu ordered, several leaders of the White Lotus Sect started to rebellion one after another. The unprepared government had no response at all. The White Lotus Sect used internal and external means to break through several cities one after another.
The cities that were captured were looted, and all the rich were beheaded. As for the people in the city, most of them chose to follow the thief under half coercion and half temptation. For a moment, the White Lotus Sect was in great influence.
