In the early morning of that day, a fire broke out in the government office in Liyang City, and the backyard of the government office was burned to the ground.
While putting out the fire, they discovered that there were several bodies where the fire broke out in the backyard, and they were actually officials from Liyang City.
At the same time, all the pharmacies in the city were besieged, and the mob stabbed many people to death and burned all the medicinal materials.
More than half an hour after these two incidents, Yuan Qingze received even worse news.
Last night, several military generals who stayed at the brothel were poisoned to death, stripped naked, and hung naked in the house.
At noon, another news came from outside the city, saying that a team transporting medicinal materials was suddenly besieged by a group of refugees dozens of miles north of the city, and the medicinal materials were burned with fire.
When the team passed by, they didn't take the refugees seriously at all.
Nowadays, there is war in Dongbo, and people everywhere are in dire straits, so people fleeing are everywhere. You will always encounter some along the way.
The transport team at that time consisted of 600 elite members of the Northern Field Army. These refugees were resting on both sides of the road, looking listless.
As a result, when I saw the convoy coming up from behind, this group of people rushed forward, and there were actually many masters hidden among them.
Six hundred Beiye elites immediately counterattacked and, relying on their well-trained cooperation and tacit understanding, killed many people.
However, this failed to save the medicinal materials from being burned, and three to four hundred people were killed.
Thousands of people besieged 600 people, including Jiang Hu Ke, but the Beiye Army counterattacked and killed 1,500 to 600 people. This is enough to show the strength of the Beiye Army.
Yuan Qing was so angry that he almost cursed. He was already on guard, but the group of people pretending to be refugees were really hard to guard against.
Early the next morning, news came again that there were inexplicably many flyers and notices on the streets.
Overnight, people from Shangyang Beizong distributed posters in the streets and alleys.
He said that the Beiye Army was a rebel, and Emperor Yu had mobilized heavy troops to encircle and suppress them, so that the people of Liyang City would not take the wrong path or make the wrong choice, in case they would be labeled as traitors in the future.
Suddenly, the entire city of Liyang was filled with panic.
Two hours later, news came that General Tuoba Lie had led his army back to Dongbo via Longzhangtai and was on his way to Liyang City.
Yuan Qing knew that this group of people from Shangyang Beizong could not be looked down upon in the slightest. Before the general arrived at Liyang City, he did not want these people to cause any big trouble again.
Therefore, Yuan Qingze ordered a thorough investigation. During these days, everyone who came to Liyang City from outside was arrested.
Unexpectedly, this group of people were not afraid of death and poured into the streets shouting loudly.
There were so many people that the Kitano army did not dare to start killing people on the street, so they had to capture them all.
But these people seemed not to take it seriously at all, and thought it was a great feat to be caught. Everyone chanted the slogans of Shangyang Beizong.
At night, the city was full of flames, and at least dozens of places were set on fire.
Someone threw a letter into the yamen, meaning that if the people were not spared, Liyang City would be burned to the ground and Liyangcang would be burned down.
Yuan Qing then mobilized troops and horses to be on guard and surrounded Liyangcang for two levels.
He knew that those guys didn't dare to really attack the granary. After all, the granary was already heavily guarded, but he couldn't help but be on guard.
He has been leading the army for many years, and for the first time he was troubled by a group of rioters.
Many were arrested, but they did not dare to kill them all for fear of causing resistance from the people in the city.
In the afternoon, he was discussing countermeasures with his subordinates, and they came to report that it was Mr. Zhuo who wanted to see him.
Yuan Qingze became even more upset when he thought about Mr. Zhuo's sarcastic expression when he saw him.
But it cannot be ignored. After all, Tianjianting behind Mr. Zhuo may represent the interests of countless big families, and even the general cannot be too indifferent to him.
In the study, Yuan Qing saw Mr. Zhuo coming in and nodded: "I guessed that Mr. Zhuo would come."
Mr. Zhuo said: "Then did you guess that what I said to you a few days ago was not lies?"
Yuan Qingze knew this would happen, so what could he do, but he just didn't answer the call.
Mr. Zhuo said: "They have incited the hostility and hatred of the people. Soon, people in the city will flee on a large scale."
Yuan Qing then said: "Escape and flee. Without those people, Liyang City will be better defended."
Mr. Zhuo said: "If nothing unexpected happens, the imperial army will arrive soon. Once they leave from Longzhangtai and then from Yunzhou, Liyang City will be trapped. You have more than 10,000 people under your command without the support of the local people."
, can you defend Liyangcang?"
Yuan Qingze said: "If the general wants to attack Xian Tang City, his troops will definitely move north. How can the troops sent by the imperial court be able to hold them back?"
Mr. Zhuo sighed: "I know that you are arrogant and will not take a bunch of gangsters seriously, but you should also know that when Emperor Dayu Taizu started his army, he relied on a bunch of gangsters.
"
Yuan Qingze said: "How do you think this sir should deal with it?"
Mr. Zhuo said: "First, restore the people's support. The food in the Liyang warehouse is enough to last for thirty years. Some of it will be distributed to the local people."
Yuan Qingze said: "Who dares to open this granary without the permission of the general?"
Mr. Zhuo: "Do you want the general to lose this important granary and lose his foothold in Dongbo?"
Yuan Qingze said: "As long as I am here in Liyangcang, they will not be lost. As for those demons from Shangyang Beizong that the teacher mentioned, I will also take care of them."
Mr. Zhuo looked at him, as if he didn't want to say anything more.
at night.
Something happened again in Liyang City. Many water sources in the city were drugged. At first, they thought it was just an exception, but then they realized that there were so many people who had been poisoned.
Many people had diarrhea and vomiting, but there was no medicine available in all the hospitals and pharmacies in the city.
Many people rumored that the Kitano Army wanted to poison the entire city.
This rumor is very outrageous, and it sounds unreasonable, but it spreads very quickly.
Yuan Qing then ordered that medical officers be assigned from the army to treat the people.
As a result, the people of Shangyang Beizong were waiting for him to do this.
Seven or eight of the assigned medical officers were killed overnight.
No one knows who the assassin is among them. Maybe he is a common person who is being treated, or maybe he is hiding in the dark waiting for a fatal blow.
This kind of thing was not on the table, but the continuous harassment made Yuan Qing almost burst with anger.
These methods were not all thought up by Chen Weiwei.
But Song Shisan.
If Song Shisan didn't have a good enough mind, he would have died after being arrested in childhood.
He is ruthless enough, decisive enough, and has no bottom line.
Chen Weiwei obeyed the things he suggested. Although these things were indeed not glorious, they were indeed useful.
First, they cut off the medicinal materials in the city, killed all the doctors, and then lured out the medical officers in the army and killed them.
This endless viciousness made Song Shisan feel satisfied.
This kind of satisfaction actually made him feel that it was more interesting and fulfilling than killing a few people after holding a ceremony.
Chen Weiwei is indeed not a very smart person, but he knows what method to use at what time.
Song Shisan appeared next to him at this time, making him feel that he was even more powerful.
He originally chose Liyang City because there were food reserves here. Not a very smart person would have thought that the Beiye Army would definitely control Liyang.
He planned to occupy Liyang City before Tuoba Lie came back, but he did not expect that before Tuoba Lie went to Guzhu, he had already divided his troops to guard it.
If he can't capture Liyang City, then he will destroy Liyang City.
When a person is not afraid of scolding, not afraid of curses, does not think that killing is a big deal, and does not think that the dead and injured are innocent, then his lower limit will be shortened infinitely, so that there is almost no lower limit.
Song Shisan experienced an unprecedented pleasure.
Chen Weiwei felt that this person was a little scary and disgusting, and thought that this person was really a good helper.
When he was under Wan Yulou, Song Shisan was just a killing tool.
But following Chen Weiwei, although it was far less glamorous than following Wanyulou, Chen Weiwei regarded him as his right-hand man, and even as his brain.
In a ruined Taoist temple in the west of the city, Chen Weiwei sat on the steps and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
"People here think Shangyang Palace is amazing, but they also think Buddha can bless them."
Chen Weiwei said: "Look, there are many temples in Dongbo, but most of the Taoist temples are dilapidated."
Song Shisan: "Do you really want to be a saint? With what you are doing now, it is no longer possible to become a saint."
Chen Weiwei: "The emperor is called a saint. Do you think the emperor killed more people than me?"
Song Shisan didn't know how to argue.
Chen Weiwei suddenly asked: "Do you like it?"
Song Shisan asked back: "What do you like?"
Chen Weiwei said: "This feeling of strategizing and killing people invisible."
Song Shisan just smiled and didn't answer, but the smile in his eyes was his answer.
He said: "No wonder everyone wants to be a master, no wonder everyone wants to ride a high horse and wear a royal robe."
Chen Weiwei said: "You said a few days ago that the souls of the dead will be dedicated to Mosa, that is, yourself."
He looked at Song Shisan: "But how many people will you kill in that case? In the past few days, you just came up with random ideas, and there have been more than a thousand casualties in the city."
Song Shisan laughed loudly: "Fortunately, I don't want to be a saint. I just want to be a person who has fun, and nothing in this world is as fun as what I am doing now."
Chen Weiwei said: "If you want to calculate it this way, counting from Dayu onwards, among the founding emperors of the past dynasties, who didn't slaughter millions of people? Wouldn't it be more fun for them?"
Song Thirteen: "Suddenly I feel that your words make sense. The emperor is the biggest devil."
He asked Chen Weiwei: "Do you want to be emperor?"
Chen Sisi's heart moved.
But he soon shook his head: "I don't think so, in this world, it is impossible for another emperor to emerge. Tuoba Lie is so powerful, he is no match for the emperor."
Song Shisan said: "Then you have disappointed me. If you become the emperor, I can still make you a general."
He looked into the distance.
"Who will we kill tomorrow?"
Chen Weiwei said: "You can do whatever you want."
Song Shisan hummed and said, "When I followed Master, he could always plot against others. Even if his martial arts skills are no longer good, no one can escape him by scheming people's hearts."
He smiled: "It turns out... calculating people's hearts is such an interesting thing."
Having said this, he turned back to look at Chen Weiwei: "Otherwise, how about we let a plague break out in Liyang City?"
Chen frowned slightly.
He subconsciously blurted out no, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
replaced by......
"How?"
Song Shisan said: "I'm going to kill a few more people, and you give me some more people, and I'll try to see if they will be infected."
Chen Weiwei: "What if it doesn't work."
Song Shisan: "If it doesn't work, it means you haven't killed enough. Try killing more."
