Chapter 176 Chaos
Chengdu, the provincial governor's office.
The conquest of Mianzhu Pass did not bring joy, because with the recovery of Mianzhu Pass, the successive bad news made it difficult for Liu Zhang and the powerful to be happy at all.
"That was agreed by Liu Xi, not by me, so I didn't print it!" Looking at the emergency documents sent by Liu Xi again, Liu Zhang threw the documents to the ground. This was the third time he rejected Liu Xi's request. Looking at the civil and military officials, Liu Zhang said angrily: "Just just calm the price of grain. Now, how can there be so much food to reward 50,000 people!?"
As Guo Jia expected, Liu Zhang ignored what Liu Xu promised, not that he didn't want to pay attention, but now that he needed to allocate food everywhere to maintain the army and pacify Shuzhong. The food in the treasury was almost empty, so there was no excess food to realize Liu Xu's promise.
"Lord, if this happens, I am afraid that the people will lose their hearts. If I want to appease the rioters in the future, I am afraid that no one will believe it!" Wang Fu and Zhao Lei knelt down on the ground and begged hard. Although they are nervous, this precedent cannot be opened. Once it is opened, it will be broken by the people.
Liu Zhang was silent and just shook his head. He had decided to make up his mind to calm the price of grain and pay another reward of 50,000 people. The treasury alone was not enough.
"Oh~" Disappointment has become a habit, and Wang Fu has become numb, stood up and retreated to the train.
Looking at the eyes of Wang Fu and others, Liu Zhang felt an unspeakable palpitations. These people were originally quite annoyed, but at this moment, when Wang Fu and Zhao Lei no longer seek death and drowning, it made him feel panicked. But things have reached this point. Even if he wants to send the reward of the 50,000 military and civilians at Mianzhu Pass, he couldn't send it. After all, the treasury is limited, and a group of aristocratic families have not made any statement in this matter. There was no feeling at all. But when the assassin Wang Fu and Zhao Lei stop speaking, Liu Zhang truly felt the pressure of the aristocratic family. The invisible pressure made him unable to breathe.
But now, there is no time to experience it anymore.
Fucheng fell, Langzhong lost its connection, Guanghan, Deyang, Han'an, Zhuti and even Bajun, there were riots in a large number of areas in Shu, and the phenomenon of occupying mountains and becoming kings. The urgent documents from all over the country came like snowflakes, which made Liu Zhang and the powerful people in Shu in a mess.
"Give grain, immediately calm the price of grain. No matter what, Shu County can't be in chaos anymore." Wu Yi sighed when he returned home. He didn't feel anything when Mianzhu Pass had not been recaptured before, but now Mianzhu Pass has been recaptured, and a lot of bad news is flooding in his ears. Wu Yi also felt a little panicked and could no longer wait any longer.
"Head of the family, something big is not good!" A family general rushed in stumbled, with blood marks on his face.
Wu Yi frowned slightly: "What happened?"
"The city is in chaos, and a group of hungry untouched untouchables rushed into our food shop and snatched all our food." The general of the family knelt on the ground and said sadly.
"Where is the army!?" Wu Yi couldn't help but be furious when he heard this and asked sternly.
"Some people have rebelled, but they have not rebelled now that the whole city is full of crazy rioters. They can't suppress them at all and cannot take action. Most of the soldiers in the army are from Shu County, and those people are their family members or relatives and friends. How to do it?" The general of the family smiled bitterly.
"Bastard!" Wu Yi slapped the table and cursed angrily. He had already made plans to bleed heavily and was preparing to sell grain at a moderate price to calm the public's grievances, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen. Just as he was about to say something, a burst of noisy sound suddenly came from outside.
"Head of the family! Things are not good!" A servant rushed in in a panic, his face full of blueness.
"What happened again?" Wu Yi's expression became worse and he roared angrily: "Who is there making noise outside?"
"It's the rioters. The entire mansion was surrounded by a large number of rioters. Xiao Liu'er was dragged into the crowd and beaten to death. Those people have now begun to siege the mansion."
"Come on my sword!" Wu Yi's scalp was numb when he heard it, and he shouted fiercely. He lifted his sword and walked out the door. Wu Yi was a famous general in Shu, and there were many guards at home. With the servants guarding the courtyard, he could also gather five or six hundred people. He was a great general in Shu, and could he be scared by these mobs?
"Boom~"
As soon as I left the main hall, I heard a roar, and the gate was knocked open. After all, it was not a city gate. No matter how strong it was, it was just a courtyard gate. Some people kept climbing over the walls from all directions and fighting with the Wu family's servants guarding the courtyard.
"So unrestrained!" Wu Yi had a blue face and walked out of the door. Several mobs waving various weapons rushed in. Seeing that he was dressed in luxury, he didn't ask much, and beat him up.
"Looking for death!" Wu Yi shouted angrily, slashing the sword in his hand left and right, and in an instant, seven or eight mobs died under his sword.
"Kill me!" The mobs around were frightened by Wu Yi's several swords. Seeing this, Wu Yi shouted loudly, thrust his sword and rushed into the crowd.
"Swish~"
With a sharp roar, the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air came, and Wu Yi felt a warning in his heart and subconsciously avoided sideways.
"Puff~" As the blood splattered, Wu Yi snorted miserably, and his eyes saw someone in the crowd quickly put away a crossbow, and his heart sank.
Someone is secretly manipulating it, cholera in Shu!
This thought was fleeting. Just as Wu Yi was about to break into the crowd and find the person who was injured by the hidden arrow, two more crossbow arrows stabbed into his shoulder blades regardless of order.
"How dare you harm me if you don't have the courage!" Wu Yi was furious and suddenly stood up and let out an unwilling roar, but the killers hidden in the crowd were gone. Looking around, there were a group of mobs rushing over like a tide. After killing several people in succession, the four generals of the family guarding Wu Yi were dragged into the crowd, leaving only shrill screams.
After just a moment, the entire Wu Mansion had fallen. Looking around, there were chaos everywhere. The screams and sobbing of the female family members in the house sounded in the back hall. Wu Yi's eyes were sobbing. He tried his best to carry the sword and stared in all directions, like a wounded wild wolf.
He was too imposing before, and the mobs around him were intimidated by his momentum for a moment and did not dare to move forward.
"He is injured, why are he afraid he will do? Let's go together!" In the crowd, who yelled. Wu Yi lost too much blood and his consciousness was a little blurred. Hearing this, he quickly looked over and saw how could he see people? What caught his eye was just mobs with crazy faces, and all kinds of weapons were hitting him in the face.
"I am the general of Sichuan!" Wu Yi roared, swung his sword hard, cut a piece of wooden fork into two pieces, a kitchen knife flew over in the air, chopping his arm, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and grabbed a mob's neck with his left hand. Another mob roared, holding the ring-headed knife stolen from the army, slashed it with a fierce knife, and even cutting off Wu Yi's arms.
"Puff puff puff puff~" As Wu Yi's arms lost their combat power, the mobs around him became more bold when they saw this. The shoulder poles, sticks, and wooden rakes continued to greet Wu Yi.
Wu Yi never dreamed that as a general in Shu, he did not die on the battlefield vigorously, but died at the hands of a group of mobs. When his life was in danger, his anger turned into a roar of seniority. His body struggled suddenly, and his huge force knocked the three mobs up, standing there, his eyes shining fiercely.
A group of mobs were frightened by his eyes, and for a moment, no one dared to approach.
But after waiting for a long time, Wu Yi could not react anymore. Someone was brave enough to step forward and poked with a stick. However, Wu Yi's burly body fell down with a stiff bang. He was already angrily dead. Until his death, his eyes were wide open. When the mob saw him standing and died, he didn't dare to approach for a while and took a detour.
Wu Yi was a general in Shu, and his family was guarding and servants who had combat power, so he was not to mention others.
Huang Quan's mansion was destroyed earlier. When the servants and maids at home saw the mob coming in, they screamed and fled. A few guards were also instantly destroyed by the red-eyed rioters. Huang Quan was dragged from his home to the street, and they were beaten to death with sticks.
"Haha~ wrong~ wrong!" Before dying, Huang Quan was just repeating two words in a constant groan, as if he was begging for mercy, and seemed to be talking about other things, but these red-eyed mobs didn't care about this much, and they continued to beat Huang Quan's body until it was beyond recognition before dispersing.
In the provincial governor's mansion, Liu Zhang, under the escort of Yang Huai and thousands of troops, fought a bloody path. Looking around, it seemed that the whole of Chengdu was in chaos, and there were mobs everywhere. Seeing that their group was dressed in luxurious clothes and protected by the army, he rushed up with a tiger roar and was killed by Yang Huai's army, and he kept killing him out of the city and killing him outside the south gate. The mobs gradually became sparse.
"Why are you here? Why are you here??" Looking at the city where there was constant smoke, Liu Yan knelt down weakly on the ground, looking at the capital that originally belonged to him, and burst into tears.
Why is it here?
Yang Huai didn't know that maybe the root of disaster had been laid when the price of grain had soared. After looking at the entire city filled with the sound of killing, Yang Huai sighed. This time, the powerful people in Chengdu, I wonder how many people could survive? Come to Liu Zhang silently, Yang Huai knelt on one knee and said, "Lord, Chengdu has fallen. For the sake of the present, we will go to Guangdu first and regroup. We may have a chance."
Really have a chance?
Yang Huai didn't know that even Chengdu has become like this, how good can Guangdu and Xindu be? But now, I can't say this. Not only should I give Liu Zhang a hope, but also these soldiers a hope. But what if the rebellion in Shu County is quelled, what can I do? The entire Shu area is now in chaos. With these people, can there be a chance to continue to quell the rebellion?
"Okay, go to Guangdu first. Guangdu ordered Zhang Su to be a loyal and righteous man, and he must have a plan to help the rebellion!" Liu Zhang nodded hurriedly when he heard this. He had no choice but to rely on these subordinates and immediately urged Yang Huai to set off the road as soon as possible and rushed to Guangdu as soon as possible.
