Yizhou County is governed by Dianchi County.
In this era, wherever fresh water systems are abundant, development will be faster and the country will be richer.
The reason why Yizhou County is the best among the counties in South China mainly relies on its rich fresh water resources.
Dianchi Lake and Fuxian Lake, named later, are both within its territory.
Dianchi County, where it is governed, is built on the edge of Dianchi Lake, not far from Fuxian Lake. The location is considered unique, and the scenery in April is like a fairyland on earth.
But now, this beauty and tranquility has been ruthlessly broken.
"Hahaha, don't run." A soldier wearing a leather breastplate and leather skirt, with his arms and legs exposed, was smiling obscenely and chasing a woman with a knife.
The woman's skin was fair and delicate, and her clothes and clothes were all adapted from Han Chinese customs. She was obviously from a wealthy family.
"Ah——! Help! Help!" The usually soft-spoken woman shouted for help in fear.
But at this time, the county town was already in chaos, and similar acts of burning, killing, and looting were happening everywhere. Who could come to save her?
The woman didn't take a few steps forward before she was blocked by another soldier: "Hey, come on, come to me."
No matter where the desperate woman ran, she could not escape their clutches.
Not long after, the sounds of ripping clothes, miserable wails, and the unbridled laughter and curses of the soldiers were heard one after another.
Such a scene is just the tip of the glacier in Dianchi County. As the county town is breached, no matter the original status of the people among them, they will not be spared from the wolf-like soldiers.
Only a few families with similarly dressed guards standing in front of their doors were spared, and the soldiers seemed unable to see those families.
And those families all had a tacit understanding that no one went out, and they all calmly waited for the chaos to end at home, turning a blind eye to the tragedies happening everywhere outside the window.
These families are all those who usually obey the Yong family's advice.
After the city was broken, it was normal for the soldiers to loot and loot, so what was there to make a fuss about?
However, the short-sighted Yong Kai never thought that if he allowed the soldiers to loot and commit evil, would there be trouble in controlling this place in the future?
Perhaps in his opinion, as long as his Yong family is strong enough, it is impossible for mere bastards to cause any waves.
boom!
The soldiers kicked open the county gate and rushed in first.
The proud Yong Kai put on his helmet and armor, took square steps, held the knife at his waist, and had a proud smile on his face, just waiting for the soldiers to escort the prefect of Yizhou County Zhengang out.
That old boy didn't know how to praise him, so he took the initiative to send someone to make friends with him and send him gold, silver and jewels. This man actually returned them all and dared to reject him thousands of miles away from Yong Kai.
On weekdays, the Yong family makes their own decisions without asking about big or small matters. Do you really think that the governor of Liu Bei is the lord of Yizhou County?
Today he was going to let the old boy take a good look at who was the master of this place.
Yong Kai had already figured out how to humiliate Zheng Ang. Not only did he want to kill his men and divide his women among his subordinates, but he also wanted to make him kneel in front of him and urinate on his face!
"Commander, there is no one in the county government! The prefect Zhengang is missing!" A soldier leader hurriedly ran out and knelt down on one knee.
"What?" Yong Kai's proud smile froze on his face, "Impossible! It happened so suddenly, how could he run away?!"
Yongkai spent a lot of money on gold and silver on weekdays, and Zhengang had almost lost control of the soldiers in Yizhou County. Only Dianchi County, where the governor was located, still had soldiers loyal to him.
Attacking the county town early this morning, there was a large army outside and support inside, but the city was breached in just three seconds. Where did he have time to run?
Yong Kai was puzzled. Could Zheng Ang still be able to fly out of the city with wings on his back?
…
To the northeast of Dianchi County, thirty cavalrymen escorted several carriages and were marching on the road to Wei County, followed by a hundred soldiers.
It's funny to say that this is all the power that Zheng'ang, the prefect of a county, has at his disposal.
The man on the front carriage was a man with white hair and a slim figure. His face had a majestic and upright look, and he lived up to his name.
But at this moment, the corners of his drooped brows and eyes revealed the word "frustration".
"Alas... I have been informed by the king in advance, but I still cannot protect the country and the people, defend the land and quell the rebellion. I am really unworthy of the king..." Zhengang muttered in a low voice, holding tightly the red and black court uniform on his body with both hands.
Opposite him sat an ordinary-looking young man, who was talking to a knight outside the car.
"Captain Wang, thirty miles ahead is Wei County, but this place should also be in the hands of the Yong family. We are just afraid..."
This person is none other than Prince Liu Chan's "gold medal jungler" - Wang Meng. Everyone here knows that he is the first lieutenant in the prince's personal army, but they don't know that he is actually the Red Shadow lieutenant who specializes in espionage.
Wang Meng nodded: "It doesn't matter, you are hiding in the forest ten miles outside the city, and I will go to the city to buy supplies."
He has a public face and is not from this place. Even if he encounters interrogation, he has already prepared an excuse.
"yes!"
Then he turned his head back and looked at the stubborn prefect.
I had already informed him that Yong Kai and Meng Huo wanted to rebel, and asked him to take his family and the officials and soldiers loyal to the King of Hanzhong to flee to Zhuti County in advance and defect to Deng Fang, the commander-in-chief of the surrender.
As a result, after the envoy got the news, instead of running away, he sent people to spread the word to various places and organized people to quell the rebellion by himself.
How many years has the Yong family been entrenched in Yizhou County? That is a big family that has been reproduced since the ancestors.
The Shen family of Dongsan County is no better than a bedbug in front of him.
Whether it is the family background or the degree of control over the local area, they are completely different.
In addition, Yizhou County is rich in gold and silver, and there are salt ponds where you can profit from drying salt. If the Yong family is just talking about wealth, it is not far behind some Central Plains families.
What's more, now that you have united with the barbarian king Meng Huo, what can you do to fight with them?
But he really dared to fight.
Naturally, other counties, as well as county and county military units, all sided with the Yong family.
But what surprised Wang Meng was that Zheng Ang still had a considerable degree of control over Dianchi County, where the county government was located.
But even so, it is still a fantasy to use the power of one county to fight against the Yong family and Meng Huo.
What's more, the Yong family also has influence in the county.
Wang Meng, who had seen that the matter was impossible, immediately found a general who was loyal to Zheng Ang and explained their interests. The two went to meet Zheng Ang together, and then he and his family members were sent out in advance semi-forcedly.
And this envoy, even before fleeing, still had to put on his court uniform meticulously and take his official seal with him before leaving.
Although Wang Meng could not agree with Zhengang's stubbornness, he admired him very much in his heart. At this time, he gently advised you: "You don't have to be like this. Although the thieves are powerful, we still need to stay away for a while. However, the king of Hanzhong and the prince were already aware of the situation here. There is a prediction that as soon as the counter-rebellion army arrives, they will surely sweep away the rebels!
"The fastest Yongkai will know is that we have escaped today. The pursuers cannot come that fast, and there must be no blockade on the road. When we arrived at Wei County, we took some supplies and then turned northwest to Tushui Ferry. Board the ship and go north, and when you enter Zhuti County, you will be safe."
Zhengang nodded and sighed: "For the current plan, this is what we have to do. It's just Zhengang's crime to offend the people of the county..."
"This is Yong Kai's crime." Wang Meng said sternly, and then sighed, "We are born in troubled times, and the people are not suffering for a while. However, taking this opportunity to eradicate the Yong family in one fell swoop and quell the rebellion, the king and the prince will definitely be able to give back to the people. The world will be bright and clear, and Jun Zheng will be able to express his ambitions at that time."
Hearing this, Zheng Ang's face looked much better. He cupped his hands and said, "Although Wang Xiaowei's official position is not high, his knowledge is extraordinary. To be a military school captain only is to debase his talents."
Wang Meng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm a dull person, but it's all thanks to the prince's guidance over the years. I'm very scared to be in this position. To serve the prince, I can just be a pawn who leads a horse and knocks it off. How dare you have extravagant expectations?" .”
Zheng Ang was stunned when he heard this, but he was more curious about the prince Liu Chan whom he had never met before.
I wonder...what kind of person is the prince?
…
The prince was in the palace's annex, personally changing a person's dressing.
The man's appearance was even more terrifying than that of a ghost. The hair on his head had long been shaved off, and his face was distorted and deformed, without a single piece of flesh...
