Chapter 034 [Murder with a knife]

When the first ray of dawn appeared in the morning, Shouchun City had already changed hands.

The smoke of war dissipates and the dust settles.

The streets and alleys in the city were empty, and there was no one except the Xiliang soldiers standing on the streets and alleys.

There was no wisp of smoke in the huge city, and even the sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking were heard. Only gusts of cold wind blew by, cold and quiet.

At first glance, there seemed to be no people in the city, with the gust of wind, the cold and cold, and it was very terrifying.

"Da da da da!"

With a crisp sound of horse hooves coming from the gate of the west city, this gloomy and silence was instantly broken, bringing some vitality to the largest city in Huainan. At least it proves that this is not a dead city, but it is still inhabited by people. However, the people have gotten up a little late today, and they are still closed and have not yet "get up".

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and then he galloped past the street and headed straight for the provincial governor's mansion.

The so-called Zhoumufu is the imperial palace of the Zhong family regime before, but it was renamed since midnight last night and restored the original county government. It is still the Jiujiang County Governor's Office and is temporarily used as Yangzhou Prefecture.

In addition, this huge and majestic palace is also the temporary headquarters of General Li Li, that is, the Central Army General's Mansion that attacks the rebellion.

At the same time, since midnight last night, the city defense of Shouchun was fully taken over by the Huben Camp under Dianwei's tent, and all the four city gates were controlled by him. The other two Allied troops were temporarily stationed outside the city, but they moved into the city this afternoon; the Jiangdong army under Sun Ce's tent was stationed in the east of the city, and the Xuzhou army under Lu Bu's tent was stationed in the west of the city.

The Western Liang army under Li Li was divided into two parts. The Youzhou camp led by Gongsun Zan, Kebineng and Ma Dai were still stationed in the Daying outside the South Gate. The Huben camp, the three thousand Jin Qiwei and more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry led by Xu Huang entered the city. The Huben camp took over the city defense, and the troops of Xu Huang maintained the security of the city. The Jin Qiwei was responsible for the guards of the provincial governor's office.

The reason why Li Li arranged this way was not to prohibit Sun Ce and Lu Bu from leading his troops into the city overnight, but to lead his troops out of the city at the third update last night to pursue Yuan Shu and has not returned yet. Therefore, the camps of the Jiangdong Army and the Xuzhou Army are still outside the city for the time being, and they can lead their troops into the city after they return to the city and station them in the city.

After all, it is already the cold winter month. The camp outside the city is too cold, and it is still warmer to garrison the army. In addition, there are many vacant barracks and houses in the city, which can garrison tens of thousands of troops. These houses are left by Yuan Shu, and are just in handy now.

After a night of turmoil, Shouchun City has indeed changed hands and has been included in Li Li's name.

However, Yuan Shu fled Shouchun before breaking the city. His whereabouts are still unknown. I don’t know whether he fled west or east, or even which city gate he escaped from. But it is certain that Yuan Jun suddenly broke out last night to protect Yuan Shu and his son Yuan Yao from escaping. In the end, both Yuan Shu and his son successfully escaped from Shouchun.

Now, although it is impossible to determine Yuan Shu's whereabouts, he knows that he escaped from the two city gates of the east and west, and the general direction is very clear. Therefore, after breaking the city last night, Lu Bu led the wolf cavalry out of the west gate and searched along the way; Sun Ce led the cavalry under the tent to go out of the east gate and chase the east.

The main hall lobby of the provincial governor’s mansion.

This is a very luxurious and huge palace, which is no less than the Changle Palace in Chang'an City. It is even more precious and luxurious than the Changle Palace in decoration and all the tools. It is not difficult to see from this that Yuan Shu is a very enjoyable person with a high taste.

Nowadays, the people of Huainan were hungry and fled everywhere, but Yuan Shu was arrogant and extravagant and had the ability to enjoy himself. On this point, Li Li sighed that he was not as good as he was.

But now, the palace has changed its owner and has become the headquarters of Li Li's general in Huainan.

In the empty hall, Li Ligao sat on Yuan Shu's dragon chaise, looking at the desk to look at the book stacked on the desk.

These bamboo slips are all the Huainan military and civilian books compiled by Guo Jia, Xun You, surrendered generals Zhang Xun, and Yuan Yin overnight, involving all aspects of the prefectures and counties under Yuan Shu. The first thing to be affected is the rare and precious objects, precious objects, gold, silver, fine gold, grain, and other supplies stored in the Shouchun treasury. The second is the number of troops under Yuan Shu and the number of registered population, as well as the emergency reports of various prefectures and counties under Huainan in recent times. In addition, there are the list of officials awarded by the Zhong family regime and their fiefs, the genealogy of the Yuan clan in Huainan, as well as the detailed registration of concubines, maids and eunuchs in the palace, etc.

These trivial matters seem inconspicuous, but for the superiors, they cannot be careless at all and dare not slacken at all. They must immediately understand the military, politics and people's livelihood under Yuan Shu's rule, as well as the number of remaining soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu and the list of aristocratic families in the Jianghuai area that supports and support him in the ascension of the throne and emperor. This is an urgent and urgent task.

Only by understanding Yuan Shu's remnants in a timely manner can Li Li make an accurate judgment on the current situation, then prescribe the right medicine and start to solve these remnants. Strive to eliminate the remnants, eliminate stubborn forces, rectify the administration of officials, and restore the normal order of various counties and counties in the shortest time. Only in this way can Li Li successfully accept the prefectures and counties left by Yuan Shu, truly gain a foothold in Huainan, and then slowly plan to further expand the results of the battle and strengthen strength.

As of this moment, since midnight last night, Li Li has read dozens of bamboo slips and sat for four hours. Since this is the case, half of the bamboo slips piled up on the desk have not been read. According to his reading speed, he probably won't move the place today and will spend the whole day browsing through the bamboo slips.

The footsteps of "bangbang" came into the hall. Li Zhi, who had been standing behind Li Li, stepped forward and signaled that Guo Jia and others not to speak out, and did not disturb Li Li's reading of the book. However, Li Li, who was sitting in the hall, did not raise his head. He still looked through the bamboo slips, and wrote to him from time to time, and made instructions on the bamboo slips. These calligraphy slips were urgently needed at present. Each copy of the reviewed calligraphy slips was selected by Li Zhi alone, and then someone was immediately sent to Xun You to handle it immediately and not delay.

Guo Jia, who was signaling, immediately understood and immediately apologized to Zhang Xun and Yuan Yin who were following him, and invited them to move to the side hall to talk.

The so-called side hall is actually inside the main hall. It is located on both sides of the main hall, and is separated from the main hall by a seven-foot-high screen. Therefore, Li Li, who is in the upper hall, can still see them, and they can also look up and see Li Li sitting on the dragon throne. But the distance is very far, at least thirty steps apart.

"You are neglecting me. My lord doesn't like others to disturb you when dealing with government affairs. This has always been like this. I hope you will be more considerate and don't be too careful." Guo Jia invited Zhang Xun and Yuan Yin to sit down behind the screen on the left side of the hall and explained with a pleasant look.

"The military advisor is so serious. The lord is busy with government affairs, so we should wait. This is the duty of a minister." Yuan Yin bowed and responded. Zhang Xun nodded and agreed, his attitude seemed extremely humble, respectful and polite.

Indeed, now they are surrendered ministers, and they changed their courses and turned to Li Li's command last night. Since they were surrendered ministers, they must have the awareness of relying on others' roofs. Now, they should have a humble attitude, abide by the rules, be polite, and be humble and courteous.

Guo Jia was very satisfied with the performance of Yuan Yin and Zhang Xun. He then smiled and said, "The two of you come together to pay homage to your lord. I think there must be something important. If you don't bother Guo, you might as well say to me and see if I can share your worries and labor for you?"

Before he finished speaking, seeing Zhang Xun and Yuan Yin hesitant and suspicious eyes, Guo Jia continued, "The two generals are relieved. Although Guo is a scholar who is powerless, he is appreciated by his lord. He is also a military advisor to the army and can speak more or less in front of the lord. In addition, Guo can still handle ordinary military affairs, so the two of them can be assured of this."

These words were extremely humble, but when they fell into the ears of Zhang Xun and Yuan Yin, their expressions changed, their eyelids twitched, and they hurriedly bowed to Guo Jia to express their apology.

Then Zhang Xun said respectfully: "The military advisor is too modest. In fact, there is nothing serious about me. I just came to ask my lord for instructions and what instructions do I have to do to me. If I give instructions, I will never refuse and I will do my best to live up to my lord's entrustedness." Zhang Xun said in a very tactful way. To put it bluntly, he and Yuan Yin came to express their loyalty to Li Li and test how Li Li planned to resettle them. After all, they were surrendered generals. After changing their lords, what they most urgently wanted to know was their future and destiny, whether they could still maintain their existing fame and fortune, and whether they could still be appreciated and valued by their new lord.

After Zhang Xun finished speaking, Yuan Yin continued to echo: "I also have this intention. Now all the generals are so busy that they are just busy, but I am nothing. How can I bear this situation? So I came to volunteer and let the emperor go and let him beg him to worry."

"Hahaha! The two generals are really good generals!" Guo Jia nodded happily and said with a smile: "The two are loyal and commendable, and their sincere desire to repay the consequences is beyond words. Guo thanked you first on behalf of the lord. Speaking of which, there is indeed a difficult thing to solve at the moment, but unfortunately, the right person has not been found yet. Hahaha." As soon as the click is over, everything that should be said is said, please be more aggressive than to be arrogant.

"Oh?" Zhang Xun and Yuan Yin were surprised when they heard the sound, then looked at each other, reached a consensus in an instant, and nodded. Then, Zhang Xun respectfully said: "What is the military advisor's order? I will go through fire and water!" Yuan Yin nodded and agreed, looking at Guo Jia with hope.

Seeing this, Guo Jia's smile became brighter and brighter. Then he got up and walked to the hall, took a scroll from Li Zhi, turned back and handed the scroll to Zhang Xun, and said solemnly: "This is a list of Yuan Shu's remnants of forces. I believe the two are not unfamiliar with this list, and they even had some contact with these aristocratic families before. Therefore, the two are very clear about their residence and relatives or officials who have always had close contact with them. This matter was left to the two. There were two thousand cavalrymen on standby outside the hall, and there were three thousand infantrymen waiting outside the north gate. The two brought these soldiers with them and must be done within half a month. I wonder what the two generals meant?"

"This promise, we will obey the order!" After hesitation, Zhang Xun and Yuan Yin looked at each other, and a cold light flashed in their pupils. They reached a consensus again, and then they bowed and left.

Watching the two of them leave quickly with a smile, Guo Jia murmured to himself: "The arrow is not turned back. Since these two people can open the city gate to welcome our army into the city, they naturally don't mind being executioners again, eliminating these aristocratic families that are in trouble and completely eradicating the foundation of the Yuan clan. After all, they have a close relationship with these aristocratic families and are easy to deal with, and only acquaintances are easy to deal with!"

At this time, Li Li, who had been sitting upright in the hall and was still moving, stood up and walked beside Guo Jia, and smiled and said, "What Fengxiao said is very true. The two of them took the initiative to open the city and ask for surrender. This move has offended the Jianghuai clan and there is no way out. Since this is the case, they simply did not do anything and killed them all, completely eliminated all the aristocratic families who supported Yuan Shu to eliminate future troubles.

Only in this way can they rest assured and their own family can be preserved. On this point, their interests are consistent with us, so they are the most suitable candidates. They are meticulous in their filial piety, know people and take advantage of the situation, and take advantage of the situation. This move is really brilliant, and they are imaginative and have no trace to find! Hahahaha”
