Chapter 177 Is it you?
Chengdu was completely destroyed by the sudden riots, and the major families suffered heavy losses. Liu Zhang, under the escort of Yang Huai and others, fled to Guangdu with his remaining soldiers. However, when everyone arrived in Guangdu, he looked at the broken flags on the city and the heads hanging on the city walls, Liu Zhang felt that his eyes were dark and he fainted.
"Lord!" Seeing that someone in the city had already discovered them, the city gate was opened, and a group of Wuyang and Wuyang ran to this side. Yang Huai and others were not interested in fighting, so they fled to Xindu with the unconscious Liu Zhang. However, Chengdu and Guangdu have fallen, how can Xindu be spared? Now, everyone can only escape to Fanxian. In this way, the three capitals of Shu County have completely fallen.
When Liu Zhang fled to Fanxian, he left Chengdu. There were more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, but at this moment, there were less than 3,000.
Fan County is located in a remote area and often barbarians cause rebellion, but it is less affected. There are still 5,000 troops in the city, which can allow them to stay temporarily.
Liu Zhang sat blankly on a simple wooden chair, looking at the generals with a low morale. Until now, he still couldn't understand why the major cities of the Shu army had rebelled on the same day as they had agreed, and it came so fiercely and the timing was so accurate. It was when he had made up his mind to calm the food prices and stabilize the people's hearts. This was wrong no matter how he thought about it.
"Lord, I'm afraid someone will be plotted against me." Yang Huai came to Liu Zhang and said with a wry smile.
"How?" Liu Zhang looked at Yang Huai with anticipation in his eyes.
"Not only Sandu, Jiangyuan and Guangrou have all been lost. Now only three counties are left in the hands of our army. The riot broke out almost the same day, and countless casualties of the aristocratic families were killed and injured. After this battle, our Shu family withered. Some people must have planned the mobs behind the scenes. Their hearts are... vicious!" Yang Huai sighed. He could no longer be angry.
Liu Zhang's eyes gradually became dull. Langzhong, Bajun, Guanghan and Jianwei fell one after another, and now that even Chengdu has been mostly lost, does he still have a chance?
Liu Zhang was confused. He didn't know where the future should go. He was not a very ambitious person. He just wanted to enjoy life on his own acre and do what he wanted to do. As for whoever was last surnamed in the world, he didn't care much about it.
But now, it seems that I can’t even enjoy my life and do what I want to do, and the people rebel?
Liu Zhang still doesn't know why this happened.
Someone is planning, who is it? Liu Zhang is not stupid. The cause of this incident was that Qin Yong suddenly raised the price of grain in crazily and pushed all the grain in Shu into their hands. He used their greed and the mutual vetting between the aristocratic families and Liu Zhang to force Liu Zhang and the aristocratic families into the abyss step by step.
Liu Xie!
Today, Liu Zhang knew that Liu Xie was coveting Yizhou, but he didn't expect that he would be so cruel. The Shu family and himself, after this incident, were beaten by Liu Xie. What about it?
Zhang Ren was still guarding Jiameng Pass, and Liu Xun was still holding on to Mianzhu Pass, but even Cheng was lost. It was meaningless to support these two levels.
So cruel!
A trace of resentment flashed across Liu Zhang's face, hating Liu Xie for being ruthless, regardless of the clan's face, hating these mobs for being unfaithful, and hating his subordinates for being incompetent, and not being able to see the clues in this way as soon as possible to remind himself.
But Liu Zhang forgot that at the beginning, Zhang Song reminded him, but unfortunately Liu Zhang, who was blinded by the interests, drove Zhang Song away. Wang Fu and Zhao Lei mentioned this more than once, but in the end, Liu Zhang ignored it.
Maybe he remembers it, but he is unwilling to admit that it was his fault.
"What should we do now?" Liu Zhang looked at Yang Huai, his tone was a little tired and weak. Liu Zhang was a little confused about what to do next. With the thousands of people in his hands, would he still have a chance to recover the lost territory? Will the court allow these riots to continue?
Yang Huai remained silent. It was difficult to counterattack now. With the land of Fanxian, there was no supply from Chengdu. Even if these thousands of soldiers could not be maintained, how could we talk about anything else?
A faint feeling of despair rose from Liu Zhang's heart.
...
Fu County, government office.
After reading the last piece of information, Guo Jia handed out a letter in his hand and handed it to the secret guard: "Let me find a way to hand it over to Liu Xun."
"Here!" The secret guard took the letter respectfully, bowed to Guo Jia, and turned around and left.
Guo Jia leaned on the back of the chair, thought for a while, and stood up. Now the overall situation is settled. Although Shuzhong is now in chaos, for Guo Jia, what he should do has been done, and he will wait to close the net next.
He took Niu Geng out of the door and was relaxed at this time. Next, he found a way to throw the position of county magistrate out and let others deal with those trivial matters.
The two of them walked casually on the street, but they were seeing a team leader escorting a group of people towards each other.
"Wait." Guo Jia called out the team leader and looked at the group of people in front of him in surprise.
"See the military advisor." The team leader saw Guo Jia and quickly said to him.
Guo Jia nodded, but his eyes looked at a sloppy scholar in the crowd with a strange look. The other party seemed to have some senses and raised his head. The moment he saw Guo Jia, his originally unsightly gaze suddenly lit up: "It's you!?"
"Brother Yongnian is in great interest!" Guo Jia looked at Zhang Song with some amusement, turned his head to look at the team leader and said, "What's going on?"
"Return to the military advisor, this person was originally a military advisor invited by General Wei, but he wanted to escape several times. Later, the leader of the mob of Mianzhu Pass, Cate, was defeated and surrendered, but was urged by this person to seize power and was captured by General Wei." The team leader bowed and said.
It was Zhang Song who was unlucky. He had just left Mianzhu Pass and was stopped by people from Fu County. After Wei Yue took the exam for teaching, he found that Zhang Song had some skills and wanted to stay by his side and be a military advisor for himself, and give advice, but Zhang Song regarded this group as a rioter, but he just pretended to cater to him and secretly planned to escape.
But Wei Yue is not Scartou. Although the army in Fu County is called a rioter, it is well-trained. Zhang Song was caught several times of escape. He happened to encounter Scartou's defeat and surrender. However, Wei Yue felt that his hands and feet were not clean and did not use them, but Zhang Song took the opportunity to use the same trick again, and urged Scartou to rebel and took the opportunity to escape.
However, as both rioters, Wei Yue let Scartou see what the gap is. Before the Scartou's uprising even began, it was suppressed by Wei Yue. A group of confidants died and the others were arrested. Zhang Song, as a military advisor with many criminal records, was also angry by Wei Yue and was put into prison. Later, Guo Jia came and was busy dealing with Langzhong and then planned the matter of Shu County. Guo Jia was nothing, but Wei Yue was so busy that he did not touch the ground, so he naturally forgot Zhang Song. Until today, everything was settled. Wei Yueqing was idle, and only thought of this matter was about to bring the group to interrogate him. He was about to meet Guo Jia who was wandering out.
Guo Jia looked at Catchet and others with some strangeness, then looked at Zhang Song with a shame, shook his head and said, "Old friend, loosen his ties, I think it's a misunderstanding, I will tell General Wei."
"Here." Hearing this, the team leader bowed and tidied Zhang Song.
"Hi~ This gentleman, I... am also an old friend!" Scar head struggled for a few times, but did not open it, looking at Guo Jia with a look of hope.
"Ha~" Guo Jia glanced at him, shook his head, waved his hand at the team leader and said, "Take it away."
"Here!" The team leader waved his hand and continued to escort these people to Wei Yue's mansion.
"Hi, brother Yongnian, don't forget the friendship between us and wait for me, and say a few good words for me!" Scart head looked back at Zhang Song unwillingly: "That night..."
"Shut up, go quickly!" The team leader kicked Scart head impatiently, and asked someone to block his mouth, and continued to move forward with Scart head.
Looking at Guo Jia and Niu Geng’s strange expressions, Zhang Song looked shamed and coughed lightly, "To pass Mianzhu Pass that day, I met this guy and helped him to break Mianzhu Pass, that's all."
"Understand." Guo Jia nodded, glanced at the direction where Catchetou and others left: "I said how could such a person have the ability to break through Mianzhu Pass? It turned out that it was the work of Brother Yongnian."
"The trick of eagle makes me laugh." Zhang Song breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Guo Jia.
"If necessary, I can help you plead with General Wei and release this person." Guo Jia's expression suddenly became a little obscene.
Zhang Song's face turned black: "No, I don't have much friendship with this person."
"Understand." Guo Jia nodded with a serious look: "What are your plans for Brother Yongnian?"
Zhang Song looked at Guo Jia. He had the ability to remember everything he saw. Naturally, he remembered the servant next to Liu Ye. Now it seems that the other party’s identity is not simple. He immediately clasped his fists and said, “I haven’t asked the name of the teacher yet.”
"Guo Jia, an unknown young man." Guo Jia waved his hand and smiled.
"Guo Jia?" Zhang Song was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "If the person who even distinguished the ministers and was so angry that Zhong Yao vomited blood was also an unknown soldier, how many famous scholars are there in this world?"
He looked at Guo Jia with a complicated look: "In this way, Fu County has long been the subject of the imperial court."
"Not bad." Guo Jia nodded, there was nothing to hide now.
"No wonder there is such a scene. Wei Yue is not like an ordinary mob." Zhang Song sighed: "In other words, two years ago, Liu Ziyang entered Sichuan, and the court had already begun to plan for Shu. You, Guo Fengxiao, are the real person behind the chaos in Shu?"
Although it was a question, Zhang Song could basically be sure that such a storm was caused in Shu this time, probably it was the work of the person in front of him.
"It made Brother Yongnian laugh." Guo Jia did not deny it, but just looked at Zhang Song and said, "Brother Yongnian wants to seek justice from me for Liu Zhang?"
When Zhang Song heard this, he sighed and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I dare not. After this incident, Song can see through it. Liu Zhang is a dark and weak person, but he is insatiable. How can such a person be worthy of making me loyal? Songmoto is ready to serve the court, but he doesn't expect that such a thing happened in Fu County. If Mr. Don't give up, Song is willing to be a disciple of his disciples."
"Brother Yongnian is a great talent. He is a bit in a difficult position as my disciple. You are here just in time. The position of Fu County Magistrate will be called you." Guo Jia smiled at Zhang Song's shoulder with a cheerful look on his face.
