Chapter 97: Restoring Yizhou
The earth seemed to tremble at this moment, and a torrent of red steel rushed straight towards the people of the five surnames who besieged Yizhou City. The first person was riding a black horse, wearing brown armor, holding a spear, and led about five hundred people. The cavalry pierced into the crowd in a cone shape, tearing the crowd apart completely. Then, the leader general swung his spear and a head flew up. The soldiers who followed him were also very skilled. Then one person fell down.
Qin Huaiyu on the city wall was stunned. This was clearly a cavalry soldier who had experienced many battles. He was fearless in the face of ten times the number of enemies. Shouted: "Soldiers, our reinforcements have arrived, follow me out of the city."
"Kill!" Seeing this scene, the government soldiers were also full of blood and shouted loudly. The government soldiers at the gate of the city quickly assembled, and Wei Tieniu also led the laborers to follow behind.
As soon as five hundred cavalrymen rushed into the crowd, the clansmen of the five surnames fell into disarray, and the neat killing methods of these soldiers frightened them to the core. If one person flees, ten people will cause a hundred people to flee. After a while, the clansmen of the five surnames began to disperse. At this time, Qin Huaiyu opened the city gate and led the soldiers into the crowd like a **** of killing. How can these people who have never been trained be opponents, leaving corpses all the way to flee in a hurry, they are afraid of losing their land and power, and even more afraid of losing their lives.
Looking at the people of the five surnames who kept going away, Qin Huaiyu did not continue to pursue them. They could no longer be successful, and the cavalry general did not choose to continue to pursue them.
Qin Huaiyu stepped forward and said: "Qin Huaiyu, the captain of Zhechong in Xiayizhou, dare to ask the general's name!"
"Mianzhou Zhechong Captain Niu Jinda!" The general jumped off his horse. He was a head taller than Qin Huaiyu, and his figure was quite majestic. Standing there, he looked fierce like a giant bear standing on his back. Wang, I wonder where His Royal Highness the King of Shu is now?"
Qin Huaiyu was just about to speak, when a voice came, "This is the king of Shu!" It was Li Yin who came over under the guard of the soldiers.
Niu Jinda bowed to Li Yin and said, "See Your Highness the King of Shu!"
"Excuse me!" Li Yin looked at Niu Jinda and the cavalry behind him, all of them revealed a murderous aura, and he looked at his soldiers, thinking that only war can truly hone the army, "Thank you General Niu came to rescue!"
"Your Highness, you are welcome, this is the duty of the last general!" Niu Jin Daweng said.
Li Yin glanced at the corpses on the ground in front of the city gate, and frowned. He had just returned from the prison in Yizhou, and Gao Quan and his group all died tragically in the prison, and those who killed Gao Quan also died in the mansion. He or she chose to commit suicide, and no one was left alive. All this shows a problem, that is, there is a black hand behind the scenes who is promoting this farce, and this black hand behind the scenes is obviously afraid that the high authority will reveal some shameful secrets. That's why he chose to kill.
Niu Jinda led the cavalry to help, and he couldn't rush back to Mianzhou today, so he could only rest in Yizhou for one night and go back the next day. Li Min was grateful and told Qin Huaiyu to accompany Niu Jinda to Zhechong Mansion in the evening. Treat the soldiers of Mianzhou well.
In the dense forest, Chai Lingwu watched everything secretly. Li Min was a little disappointed that these prominent families did not cause much trouble, but he felt relieved when he thought that the purpose of this trip had been achieved. With safety guaranteed, he glanced at the soldiers who had begun to search the dense forest from the battlefield, and he disappeared into the dense forest with the remaining 50 dead soldiers.
In this **** storm, the officialdom in Yizhou was basically cleaned up, and Shangguanyi and Wang Yinlong were selecting talents to replace those officials. In this way, Yizhou's military and political affairs were completely in his hands, and he could finally make a big deal out of it. Yizhou developed.
Just thinking about it, the government soldiers not far away shouted, and after a while, more than fifty corpses were carried out of the dense forest by the government soldiers. These people were relatively old, and their clothes were also very luxurious. some accessories.
These people were obviously not ordinary people. Li Yin sent someone to call Wang Yinlong. After Gao Quan was arrested, he was released by Shangguanyi. He should have known these people in Yizhou for so long.
"Your Highness, they are all the patriarchs and managers of the five surnames, and this is the father of Gao Quan!" Wang Yinlong said after distinguishing.
Li Yin suddenly became hazy. Now he is even more unable to track down whether Gao Quan is the same as that person in the court.
That night, Li Yin invited Niu Jinda to a banquet. The next day, Niu Jinda brought the cavalry back to Mianzhou. Li Yin went to the city gate to see him off. This general was also a great general in history, but Yizhou is facing too many things now. , He didn't have time to make friends with him.
After Niu Jinda was sent away, Li Yin returned to the Governor's Office. After more than a month, he could finally sit here and give orders.
Shangguanyi and Wang Yinlong stood below and looked at Li Yin, waiting for his next arrangement.
"Now that Yizhou is initially settled, there are still many problems to be solved. First of all, how to deal with the five surnames. These five or six thousand people can't support them every day!" Li Yin said.
Wang Yinlong said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the clansmen of the five surnames besieged Yizhou City for treason, and they should be executed according to the law!"
Li Yin understood that treason was a serious crime, but killing five or six thousand people at once would not benefit Yizhou, so he asked Shangguanyi, "Do you think so too?"
After all, Shangguanyi has been with Li Yin for a while, and said knowingly: "The lower official thinks that the people of the five surnames are not all treacherous and evil, but are bewitched by some people, and the culprits should be beheaded. Can!"
Li Yan nodded: "Just do as you said. Now that Yizhou has just experienced a catastrophe, instead of letting these people lose their heads, it is better to send them to reclaim the land and benefit the people!"
Wang Yinlong thought about it, and felt that this was reasonable, and said, "Your Highness is wise!"
Gao Quan and the leaders of the famous families are all dead, and the black hand behind Gao Quan can't be found, and what happened in Yizhou, he must explain clearly to Li Shimin, he said to Shangguanyi: "These days you Sort out the criminal evidence of high power and the affairs of Yizhou and send someone to Chang'an!"
Shangguanyi replied yes, then took out an account book, and said: "Your Highness, the property of the high authority and the five clans has been sorted out, please have a look!"
Li Yin took the account and glanced at it, "Gold is 400,000 taels, copper coins are 2.7 million guan, and rice is 100,000 shi..."
Putting down the account books, Li Yin thought that this high power is really fat, but it's a pity that these things have to be escorted to Chang'an. Yizhou is now in a very sensitive period. unnecessary trouble.
The chaos in Yizhou City lasted for a few days and began to recover.
