The cavalry from behind arrived one after another. Gao Fei winked at Bian Xi who was behind him, and then raised his hands to Prefect Lelang and said, "Thank you, Prefect!"
Prefect Lelang led the way with his subordinates, while Gao Fei and his men filed into the city from the city gate. Once they entered the city, Gao Fei took Zhou Cang and Hu Yu followed Prefect Lelang to the prefecture.
The remaining soldiers were assigned to the barracks.
As soon as he entered the prefect's mansion, Gao Fei smelled the strong aroma of wine and saw a variety of dishes displayed in the hall, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Prefect Lelang said: "I have heard about the name of General Gao for a long time, and I wanted to go to Liaodong to visit in person, but I was busy with official duties and could not go in person. Now that there is a civil uprising in Lelang County, General Gao has sent troops to assist me with his benevolent and righteous troops. I am really grateful to you.
I am going to host a banquet in honor of General Gao today, and I also ask General Gao not to see anyone outside. As long as the civil uprising is put down, I will give you generous gifts."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you are too polite. Liaodong and Lelang County are closely related to each other. If they die, their teeth will be cold. If I don't send troops to rescue them, I'm afraid this civil uprising will spread to Liaodong."
"Haha, as soon as General Gao arrived in Liaodong, he got rid of the local bully Tian family in a short period of time, and devoted himself to governing the people. I heard that the situation in Liaodong is stable. Even if Lelang County is captured by rebels, this civil uprising will
It will definitely not affect Liaodong. After this civil uprising is suppressed, I will definitely go to Liaodong in person to learn from General Gao the ability to govern local areas and manage Lelang County into a stable place." Lelang Prefect Duan
He stood up and said with a smile, "General Gao, I don't have much more to say, please drink this cup to the full!"
Gao Fei also picked up the wine cup and kept looking at the people in the hall. He roughly counted the people. There were two soldiers standing outside the hall. Inside the hall were sitting the prefect of Lelang and four officials from Lelang County.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Hu Yu winked at Zhou Cang, who was sitting across from him, and then drank the wine in his hand.
Zhou Cang and Hu Yu understood and nodded slightly. The two of them immediately got ready, waiting for Gao Fei's order to take action immediately.
Gao Fei and Prefect Lelang chatted with each other about innocuous things and laughed. The atmosphere in the entire hall was very harmonious.
Not long after, a chaotic sound of horse hooves was heard outside the prefect's house. Bian Xi hurried in from outside the prefect's house. As soon as he entered the hall, he hurriedly said: "My lord, there has been a mutiny in the city. The granaries and arsenals have been destroyed."
Occupied."
Prefect Lelang was holding the wine cup in his hand. When he heard this, his face turned pale with fright. The wine cup in his hand immediately fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. He hurriedly asked: "How could this happen? It's impossible. I don't care about those soldiers at all."
Bo, how could it be... Hurry, pass the order quickly..."
"Master Taishou!" Gao Fei suddenly stood up, with a ferocious look on his face, and roared in a low voice, interrupting the words of Taishou Lelang, "The only way to quell this mutiny and civil commotion is to borrow money.
The governor’s head is ready for use!”
"What...what...you..." Prefect Lelang was shocked. Seeing Gao Fei, Zhou Cang, Hu Yu and Bian Xi who were here pulling out their sharp swords at the same time, he was so frightened that he backed away and was speechless.
Come.
The soldiers guarding the door were about to rush in with weapons in hand, but were killed by Bian Xi who had already prepared. Zhou Cang and Hu Yu also rushed forward and killed four subordinate officials who were preparing to attack.
Gao Fei walked towards the frightened Prefect Lelang with his long sword. Without saying a word, he pierced Prefect Lelang's heart with his sword, then cut off the head of Prefect Lelang and threw the head to Zhou Cang, shouting
He shouted: "It's time to take action. Bian Xi sent an order to Hua Xiong and Pang De to take over the city gate and gather all the soldiers in the school field with the order of Governor Lelang."
"No!" Bian Xi agreed, turned around and walked out of the prefect's mansion.
Then, a hundred cavalrymen rushed into the Prefect's Mansion and killed several resisting soldiers. The rest all knelt down and surrendered. Gao Fei took Zhou Cang and Hu Yu also walked out of the Prefect's Mansion and saw that the Prefect's Mansion had been controlled.
Then he said to Hu Yu: "You take these one hundred people and stay in the prefect's mansion, and no one is allowed to come in or out."
"No!" Hu Yu replied.
"Zhou Cang, follow me to the school grounds!" Gao Fei turned around and shouted to Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang said "Promise", took the head of Governor Lelang, led their horses, and followed Gao Fei towards the school field.
The two people walked through the streets and alleys. No people could be seen in the streets, but when the two of them walked through the streets, they always felt that countless pairs of eyes were staring at them.
"Lord, I always feel that many people are watching us, and I also have an ominous premonition." Zhou Cang felt a sense of creepiness and said to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei smiled and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. The people in the city probably stayed behind closed doors because they were afraid of Governor Lelang. With their bravery and talent, the cavalry team led by Pang De captured the granary as quickly as possible.
and arsenal, may cause unnecessary fear to the people in the city. What we need to do now is to rush to the school grounds. Prefect Lelang also said just now that there are about two thousand soldiers in the city. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, they will
Incorporation is the only feasible way."
"No! I understand!"
Soon, the two people rushed to the school field. At this time, there was no one in the school field. They went to the generals' platform together and waited for the arrival of the soldiers on the generals' platform.
Soon, the soldiers guarding North Korea City came over one after another. When two thousand people entered the school grounds, Hua Xiong led a thousand cavalry to block the exit of the school grounds.
On the general stage, Gao Fei looked at the confused soldiers standing in the school field, and said loudly: "I am General Anbei, the prefect of Liaodong, and the Marquis of Xiangping Gao Fei. Your prefect has abused the people, so much so that he has provoked the people.
To quell this civil uprising, the only way to quell this civil uprising is with the head of your prefect, so I have already killed your prefect."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Cang took two steps forward, raised the head in his hand high, and shouted loudly: "This is the head of your prefect, if you still have any conscience, put down the weapons in your hands, and from now on
From now on, follow my lord, change your mind, and stay in Lelang County well to benefit the people!"
The two thousand soldiers on the school field started talking, but no one expressed regret for the death of the prefect, and all of them had extremely hateful looks in their eyes.
After a while, the noisy sound disappeared. As if they had made an agreement, the two thousand soldiers put down their weapons one after another, then knelt on the ground and said in unison: "We are willing to surrender to the general and swear allegiance to the general to the death!"
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Okay, in that case, you will be my subordinates from now on. You will continue to garrison North Korea City and maintain the security of Lelang County. Please get up."
"promise!"
Gao Fei continued: "I know that you are all local people who have enlisted in the army. I have called you all here today because I want to use your strength to go to various counties to quell this civil uprising. From now on, Lelang County will be governed by
I take over, and I want to abolish the annual tax here, reduce and reduce various taxes, and open grain warehouses. You have been oppressed for long enough, and it is time to be liberated from the dark corner, so today, you
Go to your own county and tell your relatives and friends that as long as you put down your weapons and return to your hometown, I will not hold anything against you, and I will distribute food to each county within a month. Are you willing to handle this for me?
Something?"
Two thousand soldiers said in unison: "We are willing!"
Gao Fei said happily: "Okay, then you go back to the barracks to pack up and salute. After having a full lunch, you will go back to your hometown to inform the whole county."
"promise!"
Later, Gao Fei dismissed the two thousand soldiers, and the soldiers' faces showed great joy.
After returning to the prefect's mansion, Gao Fei ordered Pang De to lead troops to defend the city, and asked Hua Xiong and Bian Xi to open a granary to store grain, and distribute the grain in the granary to the people in the city evenly. Then he asked the original officials of Lelang County to write a letter.
The notice asked the soldiers to carry a copy of the notice back to their hometowns. In addition, Gao Fei, after hearing the dissatisfaction of the people in the city with the evil deeds of Prefect Lelang and his family, ordered all thirteen members of Prefect Lelang's family to be cut in half.
In the market, the people in the city were liberated from the fear of Governor Lelang.
Half a month later, the large-scale civil uprising in Lelang County was gradually calmed down. Gao Fei asked each county to choose the officials they wanted by recommendation, and formally appointed officials at all levels in each county. Two thousand soldiers
They all returned to Korea City, bringing back the praises of Gao Fei from the people of Lelang County.
This trip to Lelang was effortless. It not only quelled the civil uprising, but also allowed Gao Fei to occupy Lelang County, which was a great achievement. Although Lelang County is more remote than Liaodong, and the entire territory is in the current
Within North Korea, the population of the county is as high as more than 200,000, far exceeding the population of Liaodong. This increased the population under Gao Fei's control to a certain extent, which made him extremely happy.
Another half month later, due to Gao Fei's proper handling of the situation in Lelang County, all the civil uprisings subsided and the people returned to the land, with no more rebellions.
In the prefect's mansion, Gao Fei stared at the hazy sky, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky, and felt a burst of joy in his heart.
"Lord!" Hu Yu walked over from the side and bowed to Gao Fei.
Gao Fei turned around and said to Hu Yu: "It's been more than a month from Liaodong to Lelang. I think the situation in Lelang County is almost the same. I'm going to go back to Liaodong to prepare the next plan."
Hu Yu immediately asked: "Is it Xuanzang County?"
"Haha, you are very smart. Your next target is Xuanzang County. Su Zheng, the prefect of Xuanzang County, has 10,000 horses in his hands. I asked him to send troops to help me during the last battle at Wangping City, but he was rejected.
We lost more than 10,000 brothers in the battle. If he had been willing to send troops to help, perhaps we would not have paid such a high price. Moreover, compared with the Liaoxi prefect, Su Zheng has always been lying beside us, which will be very important to us in the future.
Development is very unfavorable, and this threat must be removed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
"What will happen to Lelang County once the Lord leaves? Will it be left to the local people to govern?" Hu Yu asked.
Gao Fei smiled and said, "That's why I called you here today."
