"The Imperial Court? Your Majesty is so busy right now, how can you still think about collecting food? What a joke!"
When the big man heard this, he finally realized that the person in front of him was not a trivial matter. He quickly drew his sword and roared, "Who the hell are you!"
Ye Cheng sneered, waved his sword, and chopped off the left and right arms of the big man, "Go back and tell you Governor Du, he will end up with you sooner or later."
Ye Cheng originally wanted to go to the capital first, but Chenzhou in the south of Yangzhou behaved so badly, so he had to change his mind.
He decided to go to Yangzhou first and command Fei Yun to take down the entire Chenzhou.
Then, clean up all the soldiers, rogues, and rogues who are a prey to the common people, leaving no one behind. After that, he will go to the capital to do what he should do.
"You, you are so brave, you dare to attack an official!"
"Attack an official? Do you know that I dare to kill even An Qing's bodyguards, so what does it mean to kill a low-level character like you?"
"You...who are you?"
You don't deserve to know. I tell you Governor Du, bathe and purify his head, and wait for death. Next month next year, I will go back to his grave to burn incense and worship. "
"You wait for me, I will call people to kill you when I get back!"
After saying that, the big man fled in embarrassment, leaving a trail of blood.
Ye Cheng gave him a cold look, then looked at the woman and the little girl in her arms.
At this time, the little girl stopped crying. She was cold and fainted.
Ye Cheng took a breath and said, "There is still breath."
Ye Cheng took out a pill and fed it into the girl's mouth.
After a while, the girl woke up.
Mrs. Ye Zeng looked at her in surprise, "You...who are you?"
"Just treat me as a god. Remember, pack up your things at home and go to Jiangzhou today, where you and your daughter will be settled."
"My lord, isn't there a war in Jiangzhou? We..."
"That's all a lie, just go directly."
The woman didn't ask any more questions, kowtowed to Ye Cheng, then hugged her daughter and left home.
Ye Cheng also watched the mother and daughter leave, then turned around and headed south.
Go straight to Yangzhou Fucheng.
Three days later, at the governor's office in Yangzhou, Fei Yun was arranging defense arrangements. Recently, troops from Chenzhou were constantly attacking, and Fei Yun was busy with this every day.
Taking today as an example, he has only rested for a total of one hour from yesterday morning to now.
Just when he was about to rest, his subordinates suddenly came to report, "Master Magistrate, there is an old cowherd outside the door, claiming to be the envoy of the general, asking to see you."
"The envoy of the general? Please come in."
However, what Fei Yun saw was Ye Cheng himself in peasant uniforms.
“My subordinates have come to see the general. The general is coming from afar. If my subordinates fail to greet him from afar, I shall be punished by death!”
Ye Cheng raised his hand to help him up and said slowly, "Master Fei, there is no need to be polite. I am here to help you deal with the enemies in the north." Collect and directly use the people as military food."
"How can such a heinous person survive in the world, so I came here specially to ask you to send troops to attack Chenzhou and wipe out the corrupt officials."
When Fei Yun heard this, he was so angry that his heart stopped.
After hearing this, I almost fainted from anger, "How dare Du Fu Pifuan do this! Zhenna's sin is so deep that the world cannot tolerate it!"
Ye Cheng nodded, "Exactly, if this thief is not eliminated, Chenzhou will not be at peace. Therefore, we have to change our plan and attack the nine counties of Chenzhou in advance to connect with Yanzhou."
Under the command of Ye Cheng, all the Wuyuan County defenders surrendered without a fight.
Following that, came Wuping County, Lishu County, Ji'an County, and finally, Chen'an County, the prefecture of Chenzhou.
When the Yangzhou soldiers arrived, Du Fu was drinking and having fun in his mansion. He was frightened to death when he heard the news that Fei Yun's soldiers were approaching the city.
He wanted to run away, but it was too late. When he packed his luggage and arrived in front of his mansion, Fei Yun, fully clothed in uniform, was already in front of his mansion with the Yangzhou Army.
“Master Du, where are you going?”
“Brother Fei, you are also a court official, why did you join forces with Zhang Ji to rebel?”
In order to build up strength, Ye Cheng did not disclose the fact that he was also a rebel.
Hence, Fei Yun raised an army in the name of joining forces with Zhang Ji to denounce the imperial court.
This is also the reason why Du Fu asked this question.
"How can I not rebel when I serve as an official in the same dynasty as you bunch of insects? After all, I'm afraid that I will go to the underworld and be scolded by my ancestors and be ashamed of my ancestors..."
"Come here, take the fake Chenzhou Governor Du Fu to me!"
The next morning, Fei Yun publicly executed Du Fu at the school grounds in Chen'an County. He stabbed Lingchi with more than 4,400 knives, setting a record for the most number of knives in the history of Lingchi punishment.
Of course, Du Fu's soldiers who only harmed the people were not spared. Fei Yun personally sat in the office of the governor of Chenzhou and encouraged the people to come out and complain.
Any soldier who has been accused by the people and has a record of humiliating the people will be pushed out and beheaded on the spot.
In just three days, more than 5,000 heads of soldiers and gangsters had been piled up outside Chen'an County.
After doing all this, the other subordinate counties of Chenzhou all rose up, overthrew the original local government, and declared an uprising.
Since then, the three states of Yangzhou, Yanzhou and Jiangzhou have been connected together. Lu Chong also officially launched an army in response to Zhang Ji. The three rebel states spanned 800,000 miles and had countless soldiers, horses, money and food.
As a result, Ye Chengjun, who was apparently "suppressing bandits", was naturally unable to leave Jiangzhou.
After doing all this, Ye Cheng was ready to leave again and rush to the capital.
He still did not take the official road, but continued on the mountain road.
What I saw along the way can only be described in eight words: bones are densely covered with bones, and all living beings are in ruins.
Ye Cheng walked all the way and persuaded all the surviving people to go to Jiangzhou, Chenzhou and Yanzhou.
After all, the three states now belong to them, and it will be the same wherever they go.
Three days later, Ye Cheng arrived at the south gate of the capital.
The Royal Forest Army soldiers responsible for guarding the South City Gate are far less sophisticated than the group trained by Ye Cheng.
Yecheng could feel the ruthlessness of these soldiers from a distance.
They have learned the true stories of those who harmed the people!
Ye Cheng led the old scalper and slowly approached the south gate of the capital.
There was a long queue under the city gate. They were all people who had fled to the capital from all over the country. They were all in ragged clothes and had sallow complexions and thin skin.
Some are holding children in their arms, and some are carrying tattered bundles behind their backs. The only thing these people have in common is that their eyes are full of despair.
At this moment, a guard soldier kicked over the pole of an old farmer who was about to enter the city. The rice buckets at both ends of the pole fell to the ground.
All the rice inside was spilled, but the soldier just glanced at it coldly, "It seems that there is no problem. Take your rice and hurry into the city."
