    Nanchang Fucheng.

    Xiong Wencan turned pale with shock: "What, Raozhou City is gone? Has King Huai escaped?"

    "I'm afraid, more bad luck than good luck." The messenger replied.

    Xiong Wencan immediately slumped back and felt chills all over his body, as if falling into an ice cave.

    Civil officials have always ignored the vassal kings. If there is nothing to impeach, they can continue to improve their reputation and political achievements, and the court and officials are also happy to see it.

    However, it is one thing for civil servants to impeach a vassal king, but it is another thing for a vassal king to be killed by rebels!

    Southern Jiangxi has a tradition of rebellion, and Northeast Jiangxi also has a tradition of rebellion, because there are also mountains and poor people.

    Duchang County, which was occupied by the rebels this time, had a riot a few years ago. Gujian Mountain once belonged to the tribe of Duchang rebels in name.  Rao Prefecture, which was occupied by the rebels, also had a riot once, and all the family members of Duke Huai were killed.

    King Huai was also unlucky. After his family was killed, he did not return to the palace for two years, and the city of Raozhou was attacked by rebels.

    Xiong Wencan's throat was dry, and he asked: "The rebels in Raozhou Prefecture also use the banner of Zhao Yan?"

    "No," the spies replied, "it's Duchang Ding Bandit under the banner of Zhao Tianwang. This Lu bandit in Raozhou was originally a member of Ding Jiasheng's tribe. Because of indiscriminate killings and Ding Bandit's disagreement, they split up halfway. Ding Bandit  After attacking Duchang County, Lu thief went to attack Rao Prefecture. King Huai"

    "Go on, don't hide it!" Xiong Wencan scolded.

    The spies said: "The last time the rebels broke into the city, King Huai was robbed of all his savings from past dynasties. After returning to Raozhou, he exploited them wantonly. Raozhou was hit by a drought this year, and then it was flooded again. King Huai still did not restrain himself, and the chief secretary was strict.  Urge Fu. As soon as the bandit Lu arrived, the people of Raozhou rebelled, and tens of thousands of troops gathered in half a month."

    Xiong Wencan has nothing to say, he can imagine what life the people in Raozhou live.

    ?First the drought, then the flood, the former was exploited by the vassal kings, and the latter was pressed by the government.  This is a pot of boiling oil, which will ignite if it sticks to sparks. How could someone take the lead in a rebellion and not explode?

    To be honest, if the people in Raozhou did not rebel, countless hungry people would flock to Nanchang to beg. At that time, tens of thousands of hungry people would gather in Nanchang Mansion, which would also be a headache.

    Now things are even more difficult. The Ding thief occupied Duchang County, unfurled the banner of Zhao Tianwang, and followed Zhao Han's example of fighting landlords to divide the land.  The bandits Lu occupied Raozhou's capital and had more troops in their hands, but killing innocent people indiscriminately was just that kind of traditional rebel.

    On the government side, there is no way to conquer.

    There are still some officers and soldiers, but after many defeats, they have already lost their will to fight, and they want to run away when they see the rebels.

    Xiong Wencan can only wait anxiously. He has already written to Zhao Han, hoping that Zhao Han can help suppress the thieves.  Don't talk about luring wolves into the house, because Jiangxi has long been surrounded by wolves, and it is enough for Zhao Hanneng to suppress the thieves on the surface.

    After waiting for a few more days, the Datong army finally came.

    Gu Jianshan led the naval forces, and Li Zheng led the army to take the boat, which docked directly outside the city of Nanchangfu.

    What are you doing here?

    Of course, they want money and money. It is normal to get a starting fee to help the court suppress thieves.  This year's catastrophe, the Datong Army has no surplus food, Xiong Wencan must express it.

    In desperation, Xiong Wencan could only raise funds as much as possible, and even forced those big households to donate money.

    Originally, there were still some big families who wanted the court, but with Xiong Wencan's actions, the gentry lost all thoughts of being powerful.

    What is all this?

    The government and big households provide money and food to help the Luling Zhao thieves expand their territory!

    There must have been countless officials and gentry complaining, but the impeachment letter was sent to the capital, like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no response at all.

    After extorting a sum of money and food, Gu Jianshan and Li Zheng immediately sailed from the Ganjiang River to Poyang Lake, and arrived in Duchang County in two or three days.

    When Ding Jiasheng got the news, he immediately led his troops out of the city to meet him.  Holding the "Da Tong Ji" in his hand, he knelt down and shouted: "Ding Jiasheng, I am willing to work for Mr. Zhao!"

    Gu Jianshan and Li Zheng looked at each other, and they were very surprised that this thief was really willing to sacrifice the city.

    Gu Jianshan hurriedly stood up: "Brother Ding, you are not allowed to kneel down in the town, all people in the world are born equal."

    "Great unity under heaven, this is also my lifelong ambition." Ding Jiasheng stood up and said.

    Gu Jianshan returned to the navy ship, Ding Jiasheng led Li Zheng into the city, pointed to the land outside the city and said: "There are more than 2,000 mu of land around the county town, but the ability is limited, and chaos frequently occurs when the land is divided.  Datong officials, please come and preside over it quickly."

    It was only then that Li Zheng believed that Ding Jiasheng was really his own, and said: "I can write to the general town to tell the town, but the Lu thief in Raozhou is Brother Ding's old department?"

    "No," Ding Jiasheng said, "I'm in Shimen Town.Lu Xiangyou felt that this could not go on like this, so he summoned the leaders and said, "The king of Zhao is also a human being. Where are the heavenly soldiers and generals? There are only a thousand enemies outside the city, but we have 20,000 people. Ten of them can't win by fighting one? Let me fight."  Go out of town and fight!"

    These big and small leaders are not within the scope of forgiveness. They must either flee or fight a battle.  And Lu Xiangyou bestowed many beauties and treasures, and they would definitely not be able to take them away, which made them reluctant.

    Then hit!

    ? On the next day, 20,000 rebels came out from various city gates, and there was even congestion when they left the city.

    Many rebels fled immediately after leaving the city, and the leaders of the rebels could not stop them at all.

    "Advance in line!"

    The 1,500 Datong Army, lined up in a neat formation, walked towards the city without haste.

    "Heavenly soldiers are coming, run!"

    Facing the rebels of the Datong Army, half a mile away, they suddenly swarmed away.  Hearing such shouts from outside the city, the rebels in the city became even more anxious, frantically trying to squeeze out of the city gate.

    There are two city gates, and the urn city is full of people. In order to escape from the city as soon as possible, they even started killing each other.

    Lu Xiangyou froze in place, his mind full of question marks.  I have more than 20,000 people, and there are only more than 1,000 people on the other side. How could the whole army be defeated before the fight started?

    Xiong Wencan was very happy when the news of the extermination of bandits came back to Nanchang, and immediately wrote a memorial to report his merits.  The general content is: the two prefectures of Raozhou and Nankang were first hit by drought and then flooded.  Under the coordination and command of the governor, the officers and soldiers smashed the rebels, but it was a pity that King Huai was killed.

    The memorial has not been sent yet, but the imperial decree has been sent.

    Xiong Wencan made great achievements in recruiting rebels. He was promoted to the right deputy capital imperial envoy, and was transferred to the prime minister of the six northern provinces to assist the governors of the six provinces in eradicating the rogues.

    Xiong Wencan wanted to cry holding the edict: Your Majesty is confused, I really don't have that much ability!
