After Luocheng was breached, the Shu troops in the city knelt down and surrendered. Zhang Xiu defeated Luocheng at the lowest cost, opening the door to the middle of Shu, and could point his sword at Chengdu.
After entering Luocheng, he put up embroidered notices to calm the people, and at the same time severely cracked down on those nobles who took advantage of the war to harvest the people's fields.
Before conquering Luocheng, Zhang Xiu did not dare to attack these nobles, fearing that they would join forces to resist him. Now that the door of Shuzhong is wide open, I no longer have any worries and start sharpening my sword to attack these cancers of the late Han Dynasty.
The powerful nobles also knew what Zhang Xiu had done in Guanzhong and Nanyang, and they united to deal with Zhang Xiu.
Before Zhang Xiu entered the city, they had divided their territory and secretly gathered their troops. Land is the life of these nobles. If Zhang Xiu dares to snatch their land, they might as well fight with Zhang Xiu and assassinate him in Luocheng.
Among the powerful people in Luocheng, the strongest ones belong to the Wu family and the Dong family.
When the Battle of Luocheng broke out, the two families took advantage of the war to start a large-scale enclosure of land. The villages around Luocheng were occupied by the two families, and troops were arranged in the villages and townships to strictly defend themselves.
Inside Luocheng.
Zhang Xiu has posted notices in the city, strictly ordering the nobles to enclose their land privately, and those who disobey the order will be killed. Dong Chi, the head of the Dong family, and Wu Xun, the head of the Wu family, secretly discussed countermeasures. In a short period of time, the two families had already acquired hundreds of acres of fertile land, and it was impossible to spit it out.
"How can you spit out the meat you eat in your mouth?" Dong Chi sneered, "Zhang Xiu's tactics will not work in our Yizhou. We, the Yizhou nobles, unite as one and make it difficult for him to move in Yizhou. In the end, he behaves obediently Get us out of here."
Wu Xun said cautiously: "Zhang Xiu is not a soft persimmon. After all, we have military power in our hands. We need to be more cautious in our actions. He has already entered the city and we have enclosed enough land. We are prepared to let him grab the handle."
Dong Chi dismissed it: "Seize the handle! Humph! Even if he is caught, what can he do to me? Yizhou is no better than Nanyang and Guanzhong. If he dares to kill me, then there will be no place for him in Shu. !”
Wu Xun advised: "We, the Yizhou gentry, have always been united, but we cannot give others a chance to scare the monkeys. Brother Dong, I think we should be more careful. The notice has been posted. No matter what, Zhang Xiu is now in Luocheng." Master, you should be more respectful."
"Brother, why are you so careful?"
Dong Chi cast a contemptuous look at Wu Xun, "This world belongs to us nobles, not those untouchables. He, Zhang Xiu, is also from the Liangzhou nobles, why didn't he divide his family's land?"
Wu Xun didn't care about Dong Chi's eyes and nodded slightly: "I don't know, my dear brother, after Liangzhou returned to the Jingguo, all the powerful lands in Liangzhou were divided, and Zhang Xiu's own family was the first."
Dong Chi was stunned for a moment.
I didn't expect Zhang Xiu to hate him so much that he wouldn't even let go of his own land.
These words left him speechless, and he waved his hands impatiently: "Liangzhou is Liangzhou, and Yizhou is Yizhou. I want to see what he can do to me!"
Wu Xun stood up: "Since my dear brother insists, I can't say much. If Zhang Xiu wants to openly grab land, we will jointly attack him. At this time, my dear brother needs to be careful."
Dong Chi's return gift is called "Dong Chi".
After Wu Xun left, Dong Chi spat on the ground next to him with disdain. At this time, Dong Chi's cousin Dong Zhen came over: "Brother, do you want to occupy Boyuan Village?"
Dong Chi raised his head and said: "Occupy! Why not occupy it? It would be a pity for those unruly people to cultivate more than 50 acres of fertile land in Boyuan Village. Take this opportunity and occupy it quickly."
Dong Zhen was a little worried: "There is a Jing army stationed not far from Boyuan Village..."
"What are you afraid of?!" Dong Chi shouted proudly, "This is Yizhou's land, what does it have to do with their Jingjun army? You take yours and see what they can do!"
"Here!"
With Dong Chi's words, Dong Zhen was relieved and immediately led three hundred troops towards Boyuan Village.
Thirty miles east of the Duck River, the terrain here is flat and the water flow is gentle, creating a unique and comfortable environment. Boyuan Village is built along the river. Because of the rich water and grass, the crop harvest here is very good. In the countryside near Luocheng All are very famous.
Many nobles were eyeing Boyuan Village, but they never had a chance.
Now that there was a military uprising in the middle of Shu, Dong Chi couldn't wait to take action against Boyuan Village. In order to prevent the village's land from being invaded, Boyuan Village also formed its own defense force, which was composed of young men from the village. Among them, the leading young man was Qi Zhu.
Dong Zhen led three hundred troops and came with swords.
After Qi Zhu got the news, he immediately organized the young people in the village and rushed to the entrance of the village carrying farm tools.
Dong Zhen rode a horse and pointed his whip at Qi Zhu: "Qi Zhu! Listen to me, I advise you to put down your farm tools and get out of the way. Look behind you." Dong Zhen pointed at the murderous Three Hundred Steps behind her, "Today I didn’t come here just to play around with you. Now that Jing’s army is approaching and Luocheng is in chaos, I advise you to be wiser and join my Dong family, which will give you some protection.”
"Pooh!"
Qi Zhu spat, "Prince Jing has issued a proclamation. There is no need for you to enclose the land. You, the Dong family, are so brave. You dare to violate the king's order and invade my Boyuan Village. You are really looking for death!"
Dong Zhen said angrily: "Which royal order? This is the Kingdom of Shu, Qizhu, how dare you betray the country for glory, come here, help me capture this rebel!"
Three Hundred Steps obeyed the order and rushed over.
Qi Zhu roared angrily and led the young men in the village to kill.
How can a hundred villagers and dilapidated farm tools be a match for a well-equipped and well-trained army? In just half an hour, half of the villagers were killed, leaving only Qi Zhu with dozens of people struggling to hold on, with injuries already on his body.
Dong Zhen sneered: "Qi Zhu, you overestimate your abilities! I admit that you have good abilities. If you can submit to my Dong family, I will not treat you badly. But you don't know the current affairs."
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
The tribesmen swung their knives and shouted for murder.
Not long after, out of more than a hundred young men, only Qi Zhu and seven others were left. Covered in blood, Dong Zhen tied him up with his backhand and hung him on a big tree in Boyuan Village. He also ordered his subordinates to drive all the young and old in the village to the tree. Down.
The seven people hanging from the tree were covered with wounds and almost dying.
Dong Zhen held a riding whip and said to the villagers in Boyuan Village: "You all have to be kind to me! From now on, Boyuan Village will have the surname Dong. If any of you disobey," Dong Zhen twitched the riding whip in her hand. , the air exploded in mid-air with a snap, and the riding whip hit Qi Zhu, "This! This is the end."
All the villagers in Boyuan Village dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
The village chief came out tremblingly to plead for mercy: "Mr. Dong, please let a few young people go. We will listen to you from now on."
Dong Zhen sneered: "Anyone who dares to resist our Dong family has only one word, die!" With a wave of his hand, Ba Buqu walked over with a knife, preparing to kill these people in front of these villagers, so that these villagers Don't dare to resist anymore.
At this moment, the roar of horse hooves sounded.
The villagers looked towards the source of the sound in surprise.
Dong Zhen's face turned pale.
At the entrance of the village, cavalry with shiny armor were seen riding on horseback. The rumble of horse hooves was deafening and the ground trembled slightly. Qi Zhu, who was in a coma, opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a majestic general leading his army.
