The news sent by the Flying Eagle Team was relatively rough. It just said that some bandits had suddenly appeared in Zhongshan Kingdom recently. Gao Lan sent troops to suppress them twice, but he failed to suppress any of them, and all the troops sent disappeared.

That's right, the letter that came back said that the army disappeared, not that the entire army was annihilated. A few days ago, Gao Lan personally led his troops to suppress the bandits. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, Liwu and the two counties of Anping State bordered Anping State.

The hind legs were exposed

Sun Zan occupied it, but Gao Lan's remaining army barely put up any resistance. Then Zhongshan State Prime Minister Geng Lian surrendered to Gongsun Zan, and other counties responded one after another. Gao Lan also surrendered to Gongsun Zan, and Zhongshan State announced a change of ownership.

"This is a rebellion of the entire county, rather than a superior one!"

After listening to Du Fei's detailed report, Lu Bu could probably guess who the main rebels were, including Prime Minister Geng Lian and officials of all sizes, powerful Zhongshan families, and Lieutenant General Gao Lan.

As for Gao Lan himself, he may have finally seen that the situation was irreversible and followed the trend to rebel, or he may have colluded with those people a long time ago. Why did he send troops to suppress the bandits in order to transfer the troops stationed in Liwu and Anguo counties little by little?

, to deceive Qu Yi.

"Is there any news from Junyi?" Lu Bu asked.

Du Fei said, "It's normal for thieves to appear in this world. General Qu didn't take it seriously at first, and even Yuan Zhi didn't notice anything was wrong until the two teams sent by General Gao to suppress the thieves.

After disappearing, Yuan Zhi realized that something was fishy. He asked General Qu for instructions to take people to Zhongshan to see the situation. General Qu also agreed, but over there

The move was too fast. Before Yuanzhi and the others entered the territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, the news of the disappearance of Liwu and Anguo was heard. Then the subordinates just said that the whole county was in rebellion. As for General Qu and the others, what happened next?

There is no news over there yet. From the time when the two counties were lost to when General Gao rebelled, it only took two days. Obviously, the various places had already planned it."

Lu Bu nodded and asked, "Where is Gong Yu?"

Du Fei said, "Juzhou Muye just received the message."

"Let him pay attention to the powerful families in other counties and counties, and tell Junyi not to rush to send troops to Zhongshan. I guess there must be people in other places who are ready to make moves at this time, and may have even made plans. Pay special attention to Changshan Kingdom."

Among the five captains of Jizhou, except for Gao Lan of Zhongshan Kingdom and Qianzhao of Changshan Kingdom, who are Yuan Shao's old comrades, the other three counties are Xu Huang, Wei Xu and Han Hao. They are all people whom Lu Bu can trust. He will never believe that they may rebel against Lu Bu.

, but it does not rule out the possibility of being framed by a coalition of powerful local families.

Ever since the new land taxation policy was implemented in Jizhou, Amo had already expected that there would be opponents. The reform would not be bloodless, and it was impossible for everyone to be aware of current affairs. There would always be some people, either for profit, loyalty, or

Because of beliefs, ideals, unwillingness, short-sightedness, inability to control oneself, or self-righteousness.

If you want to rebel, there will always be a reason.

Lu Bu said coldly, "It seems that the lessons learned in Hanoi are not enough to deter these people with ulterior motives. We have to kill another batch in Jizhou."

"Are we going to investigate the culprits in detail?"

"No need, to be able to make the entire county rebel so quietly, it must be that the vast majority of officials and powerful people from all over the world are involved. The thieves are just a group of clan thieves. Since the entire county is rebelling, then the entire county is guilty of the same crime.

."

"What about the Zhen family?" Du Fei asked.

As the top leader of the Flying Eagles headquarters, there is almost nothing in Bingzhou that Du Fei doesn't know. Some time ago, the third young master Wang married the fourth daughter of the Zhen family, and the Zhen family also sent the beautiful fifth daughter over. I heard that the third young master Wang married the fourth daughter of the Zhen family.

Some fortune-tellers said that the fifth lady was the image of a noble person. The Zhen family's purpose in sending such a beauty is self-evident.

With these relationships and purposes, it stands to reason that the Zhen family should not rebel. However, the powerful family there is secretly doing things. As a prominent family in Zhongshan County, it is impossible for the Zhen family to not receive any news, but there is something fishy about this matter.

.

Only then did Lu Bu realize that the ancestral home of the Zhen family was Wuji County, Zhongshan County. He hesitated and said, "Check it out! If there is really something hidden, forget it. If you want to be in two different places, don't blame me for not caring about relatives."

In the afternoon of the next day, Qu Yi also sent someone to bring news of the Zhongshan Kingdom's rebellion. In the next few days, more and more news came from Jizhou. In addition to Zhongshan Kingdom, Changshan, and many places in Julu also suddenly appeared.

The captain sent troops over to see the thieves, but these thieves disappeared like fish into water. When you left, they sprung up again like bamboo shoots after a rain.

What's worse is that, like the Zhongshan Kingdom, the first team sent by Changshan Kingdom also disappeared inexplicably. Although this situation did not happen in Julu County, Xu Huang sent people to suppress it several times, but without any results.

, as soon as the army leaves the place, the bandits will come out to plunder the village.

Qianzhao and Xu Huang ordered the county captains from each county to lead troops out of the city to suppress the bandits. However, the hundreds of county soldiers in each county were no match for the bandits. Some county soldiers went out to suppress the bandits several times, but suffered heavy casualties.

have

However, the county captains of several counties did not even dare to leave the city. The thieves were robbing property, raping people, and robbing passing merchants in each township. Changshan and Julu were panicked, and not a single pedestrian was seen on the road in broad daylight.

…………

"Distributed garrison?"

In Zhending County of Changshan State, Cao Zhuban, a thief under Changshan, was offering advice to Qianzhao.

"Yes, since these bandit soldiers are so afraid of the general's troops and horses, it would be better for the general to disperse the troops and garrison them in various counties, so that the bandit trouble can be eliminated." Zhu Ban explained.

Qianzhao narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and then asked, "Gongsun Zan has already stationed five thousand soldiers and horses in Zhongshan Kingdom. Including those who were originally Gao Lan, there are nearly ten thousand enemy troops in Zhongshan. The enemy is on the side. I will send troops at this time."

If the horses are dispersed and garrisoned, doesn't it give them the opportunity to defeat them one by one? This is not appropriate, it is not appropriate!"

Zhu Ban said, "General Qu is about to send troops. He will be the one to deal with Gongsun Zan's army. We just need to stabilize Changshan."

Qianzhao glanced at him thoughtfully and said, "Don't forget, my captain is under the command of General Qu. If he asks me to send troops to help, I will disperse my troops and go where to gather them at once."

Manpower? The most indispensable thing for the King of Tang is generals. There are a lot of people who want to replace me later. Once the superiors blame me, I, the captain, will be done."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He sighed helplessly as he spoke, "The officers in Bingzhou and Liangzhou under the King of Tang all followed him from the beginning and won his trust.

, it was never my turn to be the captain of Changshan. He just saw that I had been reused under Yuan Gong, and wanted to appease the people of Jizhou.

, so I am allowed to be the captain. I must be careful and not make any mistakes in order to keep this position. This bandit attack seems serious and quite strange, but it is not enough to threaten the survival of Changshan. If I

If we divide our troops and garrison them, Changshan will most likely be lost. Let alone losing this position, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to protect my life. This is absolutely impossible!”

Hearing Qianzhao's words, besides being helpless, he also had some criticism towards Lu Bu, which made Zhu Ban secretly happy.

He and some of the powerful officials in Changshan had already secretly taken refuge with Gongsun Zan. Today he was originally here to trick and recruit troops to give Gongsun Zan a chance to capture Changshan. However, if he could directly instigate a rebellion, he could capture Changshan without using a single soldier.

He is the biggest contributor.

Zhu Ban pretended to be angry and said, "Although the general only worked under Mr. Yuan in the past, he was highly appreciated by Mr. Yuan. Even if Mr. Yuan's close officials broke the law, you could kill them first and then report them. But now you are living so cautiously. I really feel for you."

It’s not worth it!”

Qianzhao smiled bitterly, "What can you do if you have an emperor and a minister?"

Zhu Ban asked, "General, why don't you just imitate General Gao? After my subordinates heard that he had taken refuge with Gongsun Zan, they were very impressed by him. Not only did he retain his original troops, but Gongsun Zan also allocated another thousand cavalry to him."
