Chapter 3 Choice (Seven)

"This Guo Family will cause trouble for me!" The head of the Zelu Jiedushi, Chang Si, waved his hand at Guo Wei's messenger Zhang Yongde, and complained loudly. The fat and round old face was full of a happy smile.

A fierce battle that concerns the fate of the Han Dynasty, but he was not as good as Chang. The general who once had a hundred battles now squatted in Luzhou City every day to soak mushrooms with the local geniuses and rich people around. In the past month, Chang Si was so tired that he was so tired. But he was not as good as Liu Zhiyuan's imperial edict, but he did not dare to stumble through the Majestic Taihang. Dragons all had reverse scales. A few months ago, in order to save Shi Xiaofei's life, he had touched it once. Unless he had no choice, he could never touch it again.

If the troops were sent without imperial edict, it was one of the biggest rebellious scales. Especially when Liu Zhiyuan was increasingly suspicious of his illness, even if he only sent a few hundred stompants to cross Taihang, he would inevitably be punished for committing rebellion. The friendship between the two of them, who lived and died together, did not play any role at this moment.

Now, Guo Wei’s handwritten letter and a few short remarks immediately made Chang Si see a "bright road". It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t send troops. Anyway, there are not many soldiers in his hands, and his combat effectiveness is not worth mentioning. But sending minions into the caravan to make trouble in the Great Liao Kingdom will never make people think about rebellion, right? As for the expenses required for a tossing, there is no need to consider it. At present, what Chang Si does most lack is money, and the accumulation of several generations of his family is supported by the accumulation of the family. At hand, there are also large amounts of old debts recovered from the villages under his rule.

Speaking of the corruption, we must not praise Liu, who is standing at the end of the general ranks. Although he escaped a death disaster that day, this person completely offended the local villagers because he came forward to testify against Xu Yanwu. Therefore, he did not dare to return home, so he simply surrendered to Chang Si and became a 100-person general under the latter.

If you want to integrate into the military circle under Chang Si, of course you can't just rely on your thick-skinned face. Therefore, Boss Liu simply did not do anything, colluded with corrupt officials from the local genius, and desperately plundered the people, while intercepting the taxes and taking out all the measures. He also volunteered to help urge payments in the department.

At this moment, the local local geniuses and powerful people were completely numb. If you want to take it lightly, think about the fact that 10,000 people were defeated by Chang Si's five hundred cavalry a few days ago, you will be weak. If you want to continue to play tricks and disobey the "insider", you can't hide it as a "insider". Therefore, most of the fortresses took the initiative to lose their sincerity within the first period given by Chang Si, paying full debts to the nearby county town for three consecutive years, and disbanded the Zhuang Ding family generals who were privately recruited as quickly as possible to show that they have no intention of resisting.

Of course, there are also some Zhuangzi and Fort Villages near the mountainous areas that are still gritting their teeth and holding on. Chang Si is not in a hurry, but just sent his favorite general Wang Zhengzhong to lead his troops from near to far, one by one to urge him. When he met Zhuangzi who took the initiative to surrender, he would double the three-year arrears as Chang Si said before. When he met those who dared to collude with bandits and bandits to resist, he would first kill the bandits who came to support and Zhuang Ding who guarded the fort village, and then he would punish the owner of the Fort Village on the spot for the crime of bandits and confiscate all his property. The land under his name was directly distributed to the soldiers who participated in the war to praise his loyalty and courage.

After only four or five fortresses, the fortress masters who thought they could use bandits to support them were completely brave. Before Wang Zhengzhong led his troops to the front of his house, he took the initiative to take off his shirt and welcomed him ten miles away with his back. He accepted the beating and punishment, and only asked the other party to leave a way out for his whole family.

Wang Zhengzhong did not overcoming these lost people. He first asked the other party to double the taxes that Zhuangzi had owed in the past three years, and then ordered the other party to pay a "tax fee" to work hard. In this way, although the local geniuses saved their lives and land, they were completely damaged. If they wanted to restore their former strength, they would probably not see any hope without lying on firewood and tasting gall for ten or eight years.

With the large amount of taxes arrears being owed to the warehouse and the self-displacement of corrupt officials, officials at all levels in Luzhou finally began to operate normally. The vitality of the market began to slowly recover. With the taxes and the income from the warehouse, Chang Si was finally able to let go of the enemy, rectify local troops, and recruit heroes from the people to expand his strength. The Zelu Jiedushi was no longer a stray dog ​​with only 500 private soldiers, but gradually became a real prince!

"If there are any difficulties here, I might as well show you directly. I will never refuse anyone who can make decisions for my adult family!" After seeing Chang Si smile, hesitate and add carefully.

He was Guo Wei's son-in-law, and before he became famous, Guo Wei always called Chang Si, who was only a few years older than him, Uncle Chang. So after careful discussion, he was two generations younger than Chang Si, and could only call the other party his uncle.

Chang Siwen heard it, smiled slightly, waved at Zhang Yongde, and whispered: "What's the dilemma? It's just a matter of stabbing someone behind the scenes. I didn't do it before, not that I couldn't, but that I was unwilling to use these methods on my own people. Now that I'm calculating Zhao Yanshou, of course there are no taboos!"

"Thank you, my uncle!" Zhang Yongde was overjoyed when he heard this, so he quickly stood firm and bowed.

"No need to be polite!" Chang Si waved at him again and pondered, "Xinzhou and Daizhou have always been important places for dealing with the Bud. Before the Khitans captured the Bohai Kingdom, most of the silk and tea and red goods needed by local chiefs and nobles were transported out by merchants through these two places. The war horses needed by our Hedong were also transported in from these two places. Now the Khitans have just changed their emperors, and once the emperor and the ministers, there will definitely be many new nobles riding on the wind and swaying. With their bold personality, I am afraid that all kinds of high-quality fabrics and jewelry will be of great size. Find a few to be flexible and able to

It is not difficult for a wise brother to be put into the caravan and to contact those upstarts of Khitan. The key problem is that in addition to the crime of losing his troops and insulting the country, there are other crimes that can be put on Zhao Yanshou's head? And how to do it so that we are not suspected of being sowed by others? You must know that Yelu Ruan is not a fool. He can defeat Yelu Deguang's younger brother Li Hu and his eldest son Yelu Jing as the son of a criminal minister to seize the position of Khitan. If our methods are too obvious, not only will we not be able to let Zhao Yanshou down, but will he help him a lot?" (Note 1)

"This..." Zhang Yongde and the civil and military officials around him immediately couldn't keep up with him. Like Chang Si, everyone usually focused on military use and war and governance. They were really unfamiliar with how to frame and frame, how to spread right and wrong, and they really couldn't come up with a good strategy for a while.

"Then let's see if anyone on the Khitan side is staring at the location of the Zhinan Privy Council!" While everyone was thinking hard, a slightly immature voice suddenly sounded from the tail of the generals. "If so, why bother to take the initiative to frame it? He would take the money and handle to him, and he would take it around himself. Even if the Khitan king noticed something, at most they were intrigues within, and they would never think of us."
