Chapter 410 The tip of the iceberg
Cheng Yu's eyes moved and he took a few steps forward, not knowing how to answer.
In the past, Cheng Yu followed Huangfu Jian long and traveled here and there just to conquer the rebels and had no time to think too much.
But as Huangfu Jianchang came to the capital, especially with the special status of Huangfu Jianchang, he knew a lot of things, especially about the government.
He deeply understood how much His Majesty in front of him longed to revive the great Han Dynasty, and he couldn't wait for the next moment.
Whether it is from the various 'New Deals' implemented at the beginning of his succession to the huge and complicated 'Five-year Jian'an Policy Outline', especially the forced promotion of the courtiers, it is nothing more than to get rid of bad governance, stabilize the people and strengthen the country, and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty.
By understanding just a part of it, Cheng Yu could understand how painstakingly and painstakingly his Majesty in front of him had worked.
"Master, get out of the way!" The strong man behind the young man pulled the young man away with quick eyes and quick hands.
"No wonder any big business can recruit thousands of people. This is still low-key. If they put all their efforts, it would not be difficult to recruit tens of thousands..."
Huangfu Jianchang walked in again and whispered behind Liu Bian: "More than a dozen corpses were found in the backyard. I also learned from the servants that at least hundreds of people were buried in the back mountain, regardless of gender, old or young. It’s happened in the past two years.”
shhhhhh
Cheng Yu's expression became serious, he raised his hand and said solemnly: "Wei Chen accepts the order!"
The young man stood behind, his face getting darker and darker.
Zhao Yun made an estimate in his mind and asked the military lord beside him: "How long will it take to arrive?"
Dian Wei, on the other hand, opened and closed, swinging his stick, and several people flew away as soon as the stick was struck. Under the sweep, more than a dozen people fell back continuously, unable to resist.
The guard said, "We have sent people to investigate. They are currently a mile away and will be here soon. There are probably two to three hundred people."
Some people are disappearing quietly, and some people are leaving in the dark night.
Liu Bian waved his hand nonchalantly without looking away from the account book.
But there are those who are good at words.
A servant responded and ran out to deliver the order.
Liu Bian hummed and continued to flip through.
It's not because he can't kill them. He has plenty of people who can be transferred over at any time.
Liu Bian always knew who and where the real enemies of Zhongxing in the Han Dynasty were...but he never expected that they would be so powerful!
"No wonder, Xun Yu and others are walking on thin ice... It seems that they understand this world better than me..."
The yard burst into flames at some point, and there were flames everywhere.
Huangfu Jian gnawed on the apple and whined a few times, not knowing what he said.
Huangfu Jian understood and retreated silently again.
In the darkness outside, Zhao Yun began to mobilize his troops and deploy defense.
Judging from these account books, the output of the land has been exploited to the extreme. The people have worked hard for a year, and even half of it may not be enough to satisfy their hunger!
This small, inconspicuous estate has at least several thousand people working for them. It seems that the relationship is between landowners and tenants, but in fact these thousands of people have been reduced to slaves of the manor, doing whatever they want without the power to resist.
As he said that, he stepped back and said with cold eyes: "Do it cleanly. Tomorrow this village will be flooded, and no trace will be left."
Shi A closed his eyes, opened them for a moment, and said, "Here he comes."
Dian Wei stood behind Liu Bian, munching soup cakes, and said in a urn voice: "Your Majesty, there are so many of them everywhere. I used to be a servant in the village, doing everything, fetching water for farming, cleaning the yard, and collecting grain." By transporting food, I can lose more than 30 kilograms in a month..."
Cheng Yu lowered his head, tensed his mind, and said slowly: "Returning to your majesty, I have no way of inferring, but based on what I saw and heard in Yanzhou, it is at least 60%."
Cheng Yu had cold sweat on his head. He forgot to thank him and got up carefully.
"Chen, Chen..." Cheng Yu wanted to explain a few words, but he couldn't find a word for a long time.
He is rough, but not stupid.
Huangfu Jianzhang could see clearly, smacked his lips and said, "Our people will be here soon, right?"
Huangfu Jian waited for a while, and when he saw that Liu Bian had no other instructions, he quietly retreated.
"His Majesty,"
Hearing this, the more than two hundred people he brought with him drew out their swords and guns, and without hesitation, headed towards the door to kill.
The young man stood in the firelight, with the torch behind him like a dragon, and each of the strong men was holding a sword, full of evil spirit.
Liu Bian picked up a few chopsticks at random, put them in a bowl, stirred them slowly, and said, "I almost heard your words coming from a cocoon. Those people in the court, as long as they plead guilty, they are blaming the blame. Leave it all to me. Wrong, that's because I'm incompetent, and it has nothing to do with them. Right, that's because they are virtuous, and it has nothing to do with me, inside or outside. They can still throw away the jade pendant in peacetime. Returning to my hometown with honor, I can still strive for a reputation for integrity. In this time of chaos, I speak eloquently when fighting for power. The timing, the troublemaker... There are also some people who usually talk impassionedly, but are incompetent and useless. In the end, they die to repay the king, and their reputation will be passed down through the ages... They have left a reputation, but in the country and at home, they have What's the use? The country is broken, the country is in decline, the bones are like mountains, and the blood is like rivers. To them, it is insignificant in life, let alone after death..."
The two hundred people brought by the young man stepped forward and retreated, unable to get close to Liu Bian's door.
"More than three hundred people..."
Zhao Yun was not good at words and ignored him at all, and slowly turned the spear in his hand.
Just as Huangfu Jianchang was about to speak, Dian Wei suddenly walked out, glared, and said in a low voice: "Young Master is too young and wants to sleep."
When Huangfu Jianchang heard this, he immediately felt relieved, took out another apple, sat on the ground, and shouted: "Hey, don't fight, don't fight, let's have a good chat."
Liu Bian waved his hand and looked at the account book intently.
These words are too heartbreaking!
It is difficult to tell whether this account book is true or false, but Liu Bian still wants to see something from it.
Zhao Yun and Huangfu Jian gave him a long look, their expressions were gloomy, and they did not dare to say anything.
The military marquis said solemnly, "Report to the General, five hundred imperial cavalry are one mile away, and two thousand five hundred imperial soldiers are three miles away. They can arrive at any time."
Zhao Yun didn't say anything, stroking the spear in his right hand.
The young man's expression changed with shock. He looked at the big stick and knew that it would be difficult to be kind today. His face became fierce and he said: "Then it's no one's fault of mine! Go ahead and kill them all!"
The plainclothes guards of the Imperial City Mansion retreated quietly, firing the short bows in their hands continuously.
Liu Bian frowned, looking thoughtful, and said: "Cheng Yu, based on your inference, what percentage of my Han Dynasty's land will be accounted for by this situation? It's a bold estimate. It's not a big deal. Let's go easy."
Huangfu Jian was not good at fighting, so he quietly retreated to Shi A's side.
Cheng Yu couldn't bear to tell His Majesty, who had grown up in a deep palace since childhood and was passionate about revenge, how cruel the reality was.
The leader was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in rich clothes and with a handsome expression. He stared at Zhao Yun, then looked into the half-open door, sneered and said: "I don't care where you come from or what your purpose is. Release them, and I will let you go, and I will pretend that what happened today never happened!”
He took out another apple, gnawed on it and said, "Old Shi, can you beat them?"
Cheng Yu's expression suddenly changed, he knelt down with a bang and said: "I am guilty!"
Around Zhuangzi, the approaching torches gradually became clearer, reflecting the approximate number of people coming.
Early the next morning, Liu Bian had a simple meal, then rode his horse straight to Chenliu County.
The young man's face became gloomy and he said, "I didn't want to kill anyone. Since you are looking for death, you can't blame me."
He didn't pay attention to a mere two to three hundred people. He looked at the lights with a calm expression and cold eyes.
111.253.227.13
But deep down in his heart, he recognized Shi'a's words.
Riding on his horse, Liu Bian flipped through the memorial in his hand and asked, "Does everyone in Beijing know that I'm out of the city?"
In response to Huangfu Jianchang's words, he only sneered and said: "I know you have a background, but this is not Luoyang! I will say it for the last time, hand over the people, and I will let you leave, otherwise you will die here without seeing anything. No one will know."
Liu Bian flipped through the pages slowly, inferring the truth about this manor from the clues.
Liu Bian nodded slightly, sat back, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bowl, and said to himself: "Those people at the Shangshutai are unwilling to talk to me, and you, the Imperial City Mansion, are also unwilling to talk to me. I just want to hear a few words." To be honest, is it so difficult?”
He didn't say it, but someone else did.
"Yes." Zhao Yun responded.
He felt so sorry for His Majesty in front of him that he couldn't bear to speak.
"What is your identity?" The young man still wanted to know the origin of Huangfu Jianchang.
In this seemingly small manor, something was happening quietly.
Liu Bian hummed, feeling that the food was tasteless, so he simply said: "Let's go to the city early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei alone killed these two hundred people so that they did not dare to approach and could only resist.
The young man looked up into the brightly lit room and vaguely saw half a shadow. He suddenly said loudly: "Young master in the room, we don't want to offend the court. As long as you leave now, I will treat it as if nothing happened. Otherwise, today, you will have to Die here!"
"Be bold!"
Zhao Yun and Dian Wei are good at it.
"Sixty percent?"
Huangfu Jian slapped his butt, chuckled, and said, "Because there were several waves of people from the imperial court who disappeared in this realm."
Liu Bian had cold eyes and whispered to himself.
Huangfu Jianchang looked calm and raised his hand towards Liu Bian and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the news has been leaked. Please immediately mobilize troops and reinforcements to protect the safety of the Holy Emperor."
Shi A practices swordsmanship and focuses on killing people.
He hadn't led an army on a campaign for several years, and this spear was as clean as water.
Huangfu Jianchang clapped his hands and stood up. He looked at the strong men approaching and said, "Hey, do you know why I chose you as Zhuangzi?"
Huangfu Jianzhang understood and withdrew.
Even Dian Wei stopped chewing the soup cake.
Zhao Yun was like an arrow leaving the string, unstoppable, and countless people fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Shi A quietly came behind Huangfu Jianchang and said calmly: "We are surrounded from the front and back."
In the darkness, more than a dozen arrows were shot out, hitting the first few people.
Huangfu Jianchang didn't seem to hear, and felt a little disgusted in his heart, saying: "Boy, I am very unhappy with your expression. When grandpa was in Luoyang City, you were not born yet. Let's do this, let all your people come to the yard , Kneel down one by one, maybe there is still a chance of survival. "
Seeing this, the young man shouted: "There are only twenty of them, so give them all, but there are casualties, one hundred thousand yuan each!"
Before he could reach the door, a plainclothes imperial guard hurriedly ran in, knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, there are many torches around the manor, and it seems that someone is approaching here."
Huangfu Jianchang's expression suddenly changed, and before Liu Bian could speak, he shouted: "Who is it?"
duang~
The fangs and big sticks were embedded in the ground and were trembling.
Liu Bian waved his hand and flipped through the account book in front of him.
Huangfu Jian chuckled, squatted next to Zhao Yun, gnawed on an apple, and said, "Hey, kid, what's your last name?"
Huangfu Jianchang smashed his mouth, glanced at the apple in his hand, threw it directly to the ground, clapped his hands, and said: "Okay, you and the master are not as loud as you. If you continue to talk, I will take action first. ”
Liu Bian looked at the account books and became more and more frightened.
Dian Wei roared, moved towards him with both fists, grabbed the mace, and swept it out.
The strong men and servants he brought suddenly roared, raised their swords, and killed Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Huangfu Jianchang.
The first half of the sentence was addressed to the sturdy man behind him, and the second half was addressed to Huangfu Jianchang and Zhao Yun.
Liu Bian ate his food and said, "I'll give you a mission. Go to Jizhou and get a feel for the situation in Jizhou. I want the truth."
But Dian Wei, Zhao Yun's performance, and the short bows that kept shooting in the dark, all revealed that the person in the room was not simple!
'Isn't there really any big shot coming to this remote country? '
Huangfu Jian said: "It has not been leaked yet, but everyone who should know should have guessed it."
The young man stared at Huangfu Jian for a few seconds and said in a cold voice with disdain: "Are you from Yushitai or Liucao? No matter where you are from, this is Chenliu County and it is not up to you! Release the people, I will I hope you are safe and sound. If you are stubborn, there are many pits on the back mountain, and there will be more than a dozen of you!"
The young man who had retreated behind the servants suddenly raised his hand, walked out again, stared coldly at Huangfu Jianchang, and said, "Speak!"
Not long after, the gate of Zhuangzi was burst open, countless torches poured in, drums beat like thunder, and people shouted, they rushed straight to the backyard, where Liu Bian was.
Cheng Yu knelt on the ground, sweat dripping from his cheeks.
Zhao Yun's spear was like the wind and he went straight to kill him.
Dian Wei suddenly shouted, reached out from behind the door and threw his mace directly at the young man.
Huangfu Jianzhang, Zhao Yun quietly withdrew, leaving only Dian Wei.
Shi A held his sword and stood guard by the door. He frowned and said: "Zhao Yun's technique is the battle formation. I am no match on the battlefield. Dian Wei's almost brute force, I can't compare with it. But if it's a life and death fight, you can survive." It must be me."
Yes, he felt distressed and couldn't bear it, which was different from other people's fears and fears.
The young man's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty, but his heart became even fiercer. The more important he was, the more he couldn't let him go!
"Move the people over here. Today, no one can be let go!" The young man held up the torch and shouted.
Liu Bian stirred the bowl and looked back at him. Seeing him shivering, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I'm just sighing for a moment. Get up."
A dozen plainclothes men came out, holding short bows and shooting continuously.
He had expected this situation, but when he saw it with his own eyes, cold sweat broke out on his head.
The young man heard this and followed the person who stopped him.
He also wants to wait for all his people to come over and wipe out these uninvited guests in one fell swoop.
