Chapter 64 Break
If Li Mi is wise, everyone turns a blind eye and pretends to be confused. You take your Yangguan Road and I cross my single-plank bridge. The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. Then we can gather and disperse easily.
But now, Yang Zheng had to take action.
The good situation of Wuhan cannot be ruined by him.
Just when he was thinking about how to beat Li Mi, Zhao Aqi quickly reported back: "Report to the general, Li Mi was leading people to inspect the farmland, but was blocked by our people. Both sides have already started to attack!"
"What?" Yang Zheng suddenly jumped up from the mat.
Farming is my lifeblood.
I was still thinking about how to touch him, and he came to pinch my lifeline.
It is simply unbearable.
Why do the Han barbarians in Wuhan City mix with us? Isn’t it because they can provide food?
Xiahou Ba only sent rations for a thousand soldiers.
The Qiang and Han population in Wuhan City is increasing, so we can’t drink the northwest wind, right?
Inspecting farmland means registering it. According to the Wei State farmland system, 80% of it must be turned over...
He worked hard both to repel the Qiang thieves and to cultivate the land.
Is this guy going to pick peaches as soon as he comes?
"Call the troops!" Yang Zheng ordered.
The soldiers trotted out.
By the time Yang Zheng put on his armor, two hundred cavalry had already gathered outside the city. The other cavalry were either maintaining law and order in the city or acting as scouts outside.
The cavalry galloped towards the south.
Farms are scattered on both sides of the Lishui River. On a June day, the crops are growing beautifully and lushly. The breeze blows and the waves roll.
This is your own sweat and hard work and cannot be trampled upon by others.
Li Mi took the risk and targeted the farmland, which was also quite clever.
There is food in hand and no panic in mind.
With food, there will naturally be no shortage of people coming to eat from his hands.
Perhaps it was his previous tolerance that gave him the courage to push further.
There was already a mess in front of the farm.
Li Mi commanded the tax collectors to beat the farmers with wooden sticks.
Although there were many farmers in the village, they were all honest men who worked hard to make a living. They were suppressed by Li Mi, the county magistrate, so they dared not speak out in anger.
"Listen, everyone in the world is not the king's land. These fields are official settlements and should be handled by the government. If you check the fields today, if you stop them, you will be causing chaos!"
When Li Mi was in Didao, he kept a low profile and kept his tail between his legs.
As soon as he arrived at Panhan, he immediately showed his fierce look in front of ordinary people.
"General Yang led us to cultivate these fields. When did they become official villages?" someone among the young men shouted.
The words "general Yang" seemed to anger Li Mi, and his face twisted, "Hit!"
Several tax collectors rushed over with wooden sticks and knocked the man down. The sticks rained down on him.
"Stop!" Yang Zheng rushed over on horseback.
The crowd automatically gave way to a passage.
"County Magistrate Li is so majestic." Yang Zheng said with a cold face.
"It's our duty to clear the land of Zhang Zhang. Could it be that Captain Yang is suspicious?" Li Mi stared at Yang Zheng and asked.
He was the county magistrate personally appointed by the governor of Yongliang, so his name was justified.
Yang Zheng, on the other hand, had no status in Panhan. He belonged to the guest army and was stationed temporarily.
"This is a military settlement, not a civilian settlement. An official settlement is not under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate." Yang Zheng had no choice but to avoid the important and take the easy.
Li Mi sneered: "Oh? So these people are all stationed in the army?"
There are only one thousand soldiers under the command of the captain. Even if there are special reasons, the number cannot exceed two thousand.
The number of farmers here plus Qiang prisoners is nearly two thousand.
If Yang Zheng nodded, he would have committed the serious crime of privately recruiting soldiers, and according to the law, he would be beheaded.
"It is the law of the state to clear the land of Zhang Zhang. A certain person will submit a letter to the governor of Yongzhou. Captain Yang had better not mess around." After being suppressed for many days, he finally gained the upper hand today, and Li Mi could no longer hide his villainous face.
The Han people looked at Yang Zheng, and the Qiang people also looked at Yang Zheng.
It is not easy to establish prestige, but it is easy to lose it. If you make the slightest mistake, people's hearts will quietly fall apart.
When he mentioned the governor of Yongzhou, Yang Zheng's heart immediately surged with anger. "Why doesn't Magistrate Li go to Chang'an, Luoyang to clear Zhang's fields if he is so selfless? Now that the Shu people are about to invade, all affairs are subject to military affairs and will be handled by the captain and sent to the county magistrate."
Go back home!"
I have already broken my skin, and there is no need to pretend anymore.
"Yang Zheng, you are so brave!" Li Mi said angrily.
Yang Zheng dismounted and walked up to him step by step, and pulled out his sword in front of everyone, "Food is the life of the army and the people, and there is no room for loss. If County Magistrate Li starts farming today, he will take someone's life and the whole country's life."
This is the order of the people of the city! I am stationed here under the orders of General Xiahou. The military orders are like mountains. If anyone violates them, no matter who they are, they will be killed without mercy!"
The murderous intent is fully revealed, the sword is as bright as a fierce tiger.
For a moment, Yang Zheng really wanted to kill this person.
But now he is not only a soldier, but also a leader.
There are more and more followers behind me.
What you think about must be long-term.
Li Mi had been on the battlefield, but compared with Yang Zheng's bloody battle, it was far behind.
Under the powerful force, his expression finally changed. He couldn't help but take two steps back and hesitated: "Do you, you, know what Tao is doing?"
"Guard the land and water, and keep the peace! Come, send Magistrate Li back to his home!" Yang Zheng roared angrily.
"No!" the veterans of the Wuwei camp shouted in unison.
As soon as the horse ran out, he took Li Mi captive with one hand and put him on the horse.
Li Mi was left shouting and cursing all the way.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the tax collectors threw down their sticks and turned around to run away.
The cavalrymen connected with Yang Zheng, so they rushed out and blocked the way.
"Kneel down!" Yang Zheng yelled.
All the tax collectors knelt down obediently.
Yang Zheng picked out those people with bruises and swollen faces from the Qiang Han farmers, "Whoever hit you just now, hit them back!"
The Qiang people roared excitedly and went up with sticks in hand, while the Han people looked at each other in shock.
"If the sky falls, I will hold you up." Yang Zheng knew what they were afraid of.
It's nothing more than worrying about Li Mi's comeback.
But after learning this lesson, Yang Zheng will no longer tolerate his misbehavior.
With these words, the Han people no longer hesitated, picked up sticks, and began to take revenge.
The tax collectors pretended to be powerful, but they were actually worse than the farmers. After only two or three attacks, they started wailing loudly and urinating.
Yang Zheng looked at them with a cold face as they beat them to their last strength before letting them stop.
Dozens of young Qiang Han half-knelt in front of Yang Zheng, "Thank you, General!"
"Thank you, General!" All the farmers were half-kneeling on the ground.
They were either vagrants in the border areas or prisoners of the Qiang people, and they had never had any dignity.
But today, someone gave them dignity.
Yang Zheng nodded and glanced at the farmers, with uncontrollable admiration in his eyes.
This is how reputation is accumulated.
"Get up." Yang Zheng waved.
Everyone stands up.
Yang Zheng reassured them with kind words, allowing them to continue working with peace of mind, and also left fifty cavalrymen in case of any eventuality.
On the way back, I kept thinking in my mind, will Guo Huai stand up to Li Mi?
It's unlikely. He just hopes to see Longxi expose more contradictions and throw itself into disarray.
Xiahou Ba is even more impossible.
The only backer was Li Sheng from Luoyang.
But Luoyang is thousands of miles away from Didao.
As long as you control yourself, others won't have any control over you.
When the Shu army makes the Northern Expedition, it will be Li Mi’s death!
Yang Zheng was determined to kill him.
Liang Zi has been forged, and if he returns to Luoyang alive, he might stir up something else.
Chapter completed!
