After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

While he was sighing alone, Sun Qingchen heard a commotion outside the door.

Then Sun Qingchen heard a man's voice. After the door opened, Sun Qingchen saw the face of a strange middle-aged man.

As soon as the man entered the room, he looked at Sun Qingchen and made a silent gesture to him, "Sun Qingchen, the city lord is going to attack Jinzhou Mansion. I have been specifically ordered to inform you."

Then the soldier at the door looked over and then looked away.

Xu Deyuan walked in quickly, then pulled Sun Qingchen to the corner and said in a low voice: "County Magistrate Sun, I am Xu Deyuan, Xu Zhenying's biological uncle."

Sun Qingchen had heard of such a number one person, but he had been hiding in the room, so he had never seen Xu Deyuan.

However, Sun Qingchen did not have a good impression of the Xu family at this time, but he was eager to know the situation in the city, so he could only say with a cold face: "What happened in the city? Why was there so much noise before, but now the people are all Have you closed the doors and windows?"

"Something happened. Xu Zhenying killed the officials of the Transportation Department and declared a rebellion. Now he is heading towards Jinzhou Mansion. He is probably preparing to capture Jinzhou Mansion!"

"What?" Sun Qingchen couldn't help being shocked.

What he was most worried about actually happened!

However, Xu Deyuan held his hand tightly and said word by word: "Master Sun, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Xu Zhenying's rebellion is her fault and has nothing to do with me, the second wife of the Xu family. I, Xu Deyuan, am deeply loved by the emperor, loyal to the emperor, and patriotic. It is impossible to commit such a treason! Without further ado, tell me now, is there any way to stop her?"

Sun Qingchen frowned, "Did you receive much favor from the emperor?"

"To be honest, Xu Zhenying is not a good citizen. She is just a prisoner sent to Qianzhou! Before being exiled, I was the censor Zhongcheng. I was implicated in the lumber case and my whole family was sent to Qianzhou. Xu Zhenying is here This person, with vicious methods, put me under house arrest in disguise and did such a heinous thing. I absolutely cannot tolerate it! So I took advantage of this chaos in the city to run out and wanted to ask Lord Sun, what should I do in this situation? What should we do, we can’t just watch the witch Xu Zhenying really destroy Jinzhou Mansion!”

"Censor Zhongcheng?" Sun Qingchen was completely shocked this time. He had doubted the identity of the Xu family, but he never expected that they were actually a group of exiled prisoners. "Master Xu?"

Thinking about it this way, Sun Qingchen seemed to have an impression.

No wonder he always felt like he had heard this name somewhere before.

There is no time to think about anything else. It would be best if someone is willing to help, not to mention that this person is the uncle of the rebel Xu Zhenying. Sun Qingchen touched Xu Deyuan's hand and said, "Thanks to Mr. Xu's help, if the rebellion can really be calmed down this time, Brother Xu will do it." No, I will write to Your Majesty to plead kindly for Brother Xu, maybe I can help Brother Xu reinstate him!"

Xu Deyuan looked guilty, "The Holy One doesn't blame me and doesn't regard me as one of those witches. This is already a great blessing for me. How dare I ask for anything else."

"Brother Xu, without further ado, tell me what is going on in the city now."

"Xu Zhenying and the people from the Transportation Department did not reach an agreement on the tax issue, so they encouraged the people to kill those two people. Now she has led people to attack Jinzhou Prefecture."

Sun Qinxuan asked anxiously: "Lan County is only four or five days away from Jinzhou Prefecture. How many people does she bring with her?"

"At least two to three thousand!"

"Two or three thousand? That's not good."

"Master Sun, what do you mean by this? Jinzhou Mansion is a city after all. It stands to reason that there are at least several thousand guards in the mansion. Why does Master Sun look so sad?"

"That was before! Nowadays, the national treasury is empty, and the guard station has been reduced in number and many veterans have been dismissed. What's more, there is a war in Qianzhou, and the elites of Jinzhou Prefecture have been transferred to support. Now Jinzhou Prefecture is basically an empty city. "

Xu Deyuan was shocked, "The defense of Jinzhou Mansion is so lax?"

"I'm afraid the situation is worse than we expected. Not to mention the soldiers under Xu Zhenying, each one is as brave as ten. I'm afraid it doesn't take thousands or hundreds of people to capture Jinzhou Mansion without even a single blow. !”

Xu Deyuan felt his eyes darken.

At this moment, he really hated Xu Zhenying. He gritted his teeth thinking that Xu Deyuan's great reputation would be ruined and he would be labeled as a traitor from now on.

"Brother Xu, please don't delay any longer. I will write a blood letter now and you can send it immediately to General Bai in Qianzhou Prefecture, inform him of the situation in Jinzhou Prefecture, and ask him to send troops to support quickly! Otherwise, Jinzhou Prefecture will definitely Fall into the hands of rebels!"

"General Bai? But Bai Cien, the son of Bai Houping, the Marquis of Wu in Bianjing?"

"It's him!"

After saying that, Sun Qingchen bit his finger, tore off his clothes, and wrote a handwritten letter with tears and blood.

Xu Deyuan was anxious. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to give it a try, but who would have expected that Sun Qingchen would ask him to go to the Qianzhou front line?

He is just a useless scholar, how can he go to the front line?

Not to mention the mountains and ridges in Jinzhou and Qianzhou, with close combat happening everywhere. How could he ensure that he arrived safely?

But for the sake of his own future and to extricate himself from this rebellion farce, Xu Deyuan can only make a desperate move!

If it succeeds, perhaps His Majesty will be lenient, absolve him of his guilt, and even reinstate him.

Maybe Xu Zhenying can be punished with a capital crime!

From now on, he will completely escape from Xu Zhenying's clutches, and he will be able to trample his second wife under his feet!

Xu Deyuan held the blood letter tightly to his chest, as if he was carrying his own future with caution, "Don't worry, Mr. Sun, I will definitely bring this letter to you even if I risk my life! Just wait for me." information!"

------------------

The capital city of Jinzhou was destroyed.

At night, iron hooves passed over, and frightening sounds continued to be made on the bluestone.

There was a commotion from far away from the city gate.

The people had closed their doors for a long time and were hiding in their homes shivering.

Whenever a city is broken, the bandits will always burn, kill, and loot, not to mention burning food and grass, kidnapping women, and other evil deeds.

The abducted woman was naturally humiliated. Even if she was brought back, she could only deal with it quietly at home, and then report that she died of a sudden illness.

The entire Jinzhou Mansion was filled with a desperate and depressing atmosphere.

Except for Mr. Zhou who was at the Yamen, the other female relatives of the Tongpan family of Jinzhou Prefecture hid in the room with their children. They also ordered the servants in the house to hold the big stick against the door.

Whenever the city is broken, there are always Xiaoxiao who take the opportunity to cause trouble. There are endless robbers, murderers, and thieves.

Tongpan's eldest daughter, Zhou Houfang, was only sixteen years old and was preparing to get married at home. The wedding was expected to take place next month.

Although she has never experienced the city being destroyed, she has heard her parents say, "If I am kidnapped, I will bite my tongue and kill myself. I will never bring shame on my parents' faces!"

She and her sisters all said this.

But this time, the riots in the city did not last long.

From afternoon to dusk, there were only about two hours before the commotion outside stopped.

Everyone listened with fear to the cries, screams, and walking sounds that came one after another from outside. The brave and skilled servants took the knife and went out together to find out the information. When they came back, they were obviously a little relaxed. .

"It's the Mountain King of Lan County who's calling! Ladies and ladies, don't panic. Now the rebel army has rushed into the city. They just tied up the master and the master and said that as long as we obey our orders, the rebel army will not kill indiscriminately!"

"From Lan County?" The eldest lady held her daughter's trembling hand and gradually stabilized it, "Is it the county where pigs are raised?"

"Correct!"

Somehow, when everyone heard about Lan County, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Houfang said: "Mom, the rebels in Lan County are better than other bandits. My daughter heard that the king of Lan County is a scholar and has a good way of doing things. After occupying Lan County, he never killed innocent people indiscriminately and had a good reputation among the people. . If we fall into their hands, nothing will happen to us!"

"Son, no matter how good he is, he is still a rebel. Now your father is still in her hands. I wonder what the king will do with your father and the others."

"Mom, don't panic, the streets are quiet now, and there will be results soon."

The servant also said quickly: "Madam, don't worry, the servants just had the courage to go near the Yamen to eavesdrop. They said that nothing happened, and they only asked the people in the city not to go out, and they can only come out after they give orders."

Mrs. Liu, however, clutched her chest and complained: "It's so good, why is the city of Jinzhou Mansion destroyed? Are all those guards just doing it?"

A group of female relatives are locked up in the backyard all day long, and the news is not well-informed.

They didn't know how Jinzhou Prefecture had broken the city, nor why the king of Lan County came to attack them, nor what they should do.

That night, almost all the people in Jinzhou Mansion had no sleep.

No one dared to fall asleep with their heads raised, for fear of what would happen in the city.

In the government office, orders are being issued in an orderly manner.

Xu Yinxi was ordered to do so at the critical moment, and was urgently transferred from Ye County by Xu Zhenying to take charge of the overall situation.

Qian Zhenniang and Fang Xun were the deputies, and the three people formed a temporary team to take over all the affairs of Jinzhou Mansion.

Several of them already had experience when they attacked Lan County.

Therefore, the three people divided their work and took over as soon as possible in the shortest possible time.

"Report, Jinzhou Prefecture has about 100,000 stones of food and grass, 426 pieces of armor, 36,720 taels of taxes, 620,810 people, and 5,630 fertile fields. Ten thousand acres.”

"Report, several wealthy people in the city who escaped have been caught and put in cells. The remaining twenty-six people were preparing to escape, but we also drove them home."

"What they brought from Lan County is that twenty-eight propagandists have arrived and are being divided into fourteen groups to calm the emotions of the people in the city. At the same time, one hundred and twenty security teams have also been in place to catch those who took advantage of the chaos to steal. There were twelve cases.”

Soldiers came in and out of the government office one after another, constantly reporting first-hand news from Jinzhou Prefecture.

After the city was broken, it was very important to appease the people, so Xu Yinxi spread his manpower and quickly suppressed the unrest in the city.

"Secretary Xu, Secretary Qian——" Lu Fei, Zhou Bo and others walked in generously, smiling boldly, "I really didn't expect that this huge Jinzhou Prefecture would be leaky like a sieve! We fifty A brother went to the south gate and was surprised to capture the south gate without a single blow. Now the four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest have all been replaced by our people, and all the wine bags and rice bags in the city have been captured. What should we do next? What?!"

Xu Yinxi was looking at the fish scale book of Jinzhou Prefecture without raising her eyelids, "All the elites of Jinzhou Prefecture have gone to Qianzhou to fight toasts. This place is like an empty city. The city is full of old, weak, women and children. Of course it is easy to win, otherwise Why would the city lord only leave a thousand of us?"

Lu Fei scratched his head, looked at the people coming in and out, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Yes, why haven't I seen the city lord? By the way, I haven't seen instructor Mo either!"

Zhou Bo frowned, thinking that not only Mo Jinchun, but also many important figures were not here.

For example, Ming Xiaoshuang, Liu Dazhuang, Wang Sanniang, and An Peilin of the Guards.

Xu Zhenying is nowhere to be seen for such an important matter as entering the city, which means that the city lord definitely has big plans to make!

Xu Yinxi raised her eyes and said to Lu Fei, Zhou Bo and others: "The city lord's itinerary is confidential. You two, immediately select two hundred elites in the city to take over the remaining seven counties in Jinzhou Prefecture except Ye County and Lan County. Tell them that there has been a change of scenery in Jinzhou Prefecture, and the new city lord is Xu Zhenying. After you arrive at the place, first remove their military forces. If there is any resistance, tie them up first. The remaining seven counties will make personnel arrangements, etc. The city lord will make a decision when he comes back!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, on the official road from Jinzhou Prefecture to Qianzhou Prefecture, a carriage was speeding through the mountains and forests.

There were elites waiting in front and behind the carriage. A group of dozens of people were speeding through the mountains and forests, covered with stars and moon.

Halfway through, everyone was exhausted and the horses were trapped, so Xu Zhenying could only order everyone to rest where they were.

They worked together and quickly put up a simple tent and lit a fire.

Fortunately, it was summer, so he was not afraid even in the wilderness. Xu Zhenying ordered everyone to take blankets from the carriage and rest for a while.

Wang Sanniang filled the water bag with water and then handed it to Xu Zhenying.

Later, Wang Sanniang's physical fitness in the military camp was considered good, but she could not withstand such a rapid march. When she sat down on the ground, she felt that her tailbone was being torn.

But she was worried about the situation in the city, so she asked: "City Lord, according to the time, they should have invaded Jinzhou Mansion today."

Xu Zhenying held the water bag and tilted her neck to take a few sips until her stomach made the sound of water sloshing. After drinking water, she seemed to be more energetic, and said: "Calculate the time, it will only last a few days."

"City Lord, now that we have captured Jinzhou Mansion, and the vanguard has set off in advance to support Qianzhou, why do we have to march day and night?"

Xu Zhenying laughed: "It is said that people who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries. The guards of Jinzhou Prefecture are lax, so it will not take much effort to capture it. Jinzhou Prefecture and Qianzhou Prefecture are closely related to each other, and the elites of the imperial court are all on the front line of Qianzhou. If not After annihilating them, there is no point in taking over Jinzhou Prefecture."

Wang Sanniang was silent.

Xu Zhenying raised his eyebrows, "What, are you scared?"

"I'm not even afraid of rebellion, so how can I be afraid of the soldiers of the imperial court? What's more, they are just a bunch of losers. How can they be our opponents?"

"Repeat the content of the first section of the military warfare class."

Wang Sanniang was stunned, and then Zhang Wanjun, who had been listening in, responded: "Strategically, we must despise the enemy, and tactically, we must pay attention to the enemy. Magistrate Wang, we must not underestimate the enemy."

Wang Sanniang had a slightly embarrassed look on her face. She had been busy with things in Gaoxin County recently and had almost forgotten all the content she had learned in the camp.

Xu Zhenying is very satisfied with this girl named Zhang Wanjun. I heard that she has two sisters and an old father in her family. It is no wonder that she has the style of an eldest sister.

"Time waits for no one now. Your Instructor Jiang has a wild temper. He might really kill all the soldiers in the imperial court. If we arrive earlier, we can integrate these soldiers into our army earlier. And Qianzhou The situation there is complicated, and there are native people who are eyeing us. If we want to take root in Jinzhou Prefecture and avoid Jinzhou Prefecture from being attacked from both sides in the future, we must deal with the Qianzhou Chieftain."

"The city wants to cooperate with the barbarians?" Wang Sanniang and Zhang Wanjun seemed to have strong opinions on the natives in Qianzhou. When they heard about it, the two chieftains showed disgust.

"No matter who the other party is, as long as our cooperation can bring common benefits, why can't we get rid of prejudices and coexist? What's more, people are not divided into three, six or nine. The reason why you look down on the Qianzhou natives is just because you think they are better. The life of slash-and-burn farming is not as civilized as ours. But the ignorant people can be taught, and their poverty and ignorance are caused by the external topography and other environment, rather than laziness or lack of enterprising spirit. Now we occupy the Jin Dynasty Zhou, we have to deal with the chieftains for a long time. If this is not conducive to unity, don’t say it again in the future! We people from Lan County advocate equality for everyone, and we cannot assign people a third, sixth, or ninth grade."

Sanniang and the others all looked attentive, and then even more ashamed. Ming Xiaoshuang was more direct: "If we really want to divide them into three, six, or nine grades, Sanniang, you are a merchant, Lu Fei is a country boy, and Wanjun's My father is still a craftsman! In the past, we couldn't join the army, so what's the difference between us and those native barbarians? Therefore, we all have to listen to the city lord, everyone is equal, men and women are equal! Everyone belongs to this land Master!"

Wang Sanniang also immediately smiled and said: "Director Ming is right, everyone is equal, men and women are equal!"

However, it turns out that Xu Zhenying is still too naive!

By the time the group of them rushed to the Qianzhou front line at lightning speed, Jiang Yongkang had already joined forces with the chieftain to kidnap the prince of Qianzhou and blocked the imperial court's 20,000-strong army in a mountain.

They also cut off water from upstream, gradually shrinking the encirclement, and finally even dug an isolation zone and set fire to the mountain.

Five or six thousand of the 20,000 soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were burned alive, and others were forced to jump into the river. Those who could not swim could only be drowned, and those who could swim were captured by them.

It didn't take more than a month, and even the Sanqianlan County soldiers sent by Xu Zhenying to support the rear were not put to much use. Jiang Yongkang ended the war on his own.

By the time Xu Zhenying left, the war had subsided. Jiang Yongkang and the four chieftain families in Qianzhou were stationed at the Qianzhou government office, waiting for her next instructions.

When Xu Zhenying received the battle report from the front and learned the news, she had just entered the territory of Qianzhou.
