The civil and military officials under Yuan Keli soon came to Yuan Keli's military tent, saw Hou Xun's head, and learned about the emperor's direct killing of the censor who impeached Yuan Keli.

These civil and military officials therefore added a sense of awe to Yuan Keli, and their obedience to Yuan Keli increased a lot.

Because now they all know that the emperor will kill a censor for Yuan Keli, and naturally they understand that the emperor trusts Yuan Keli very much.

In addition, these officials also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that when they finally didn't have to charge themselves on the front line, the censor was urging behind their backs.

At this time, Sichuan Right Administrator Zhu Xieyuan said: "Your Majesty is wise! In this way, everyone will not have to care about censors, nor will they have to take out a lot of military pay to bribe these censors, but can be used more in wars. By doing so, the officials believe that the war in the southwest has been at least half of the success."

"This is reasonable!"

"However, the opinions of the officials below the ministry can also show the emperor's intention from this matter. It is obvious that we must quell the rebellion of She Chongming, and even express our attitude by killing the swearing officers. We can only win. Otherwise, if we lose the battle, we are afraid that those swearing officers will bite us even more fiercely."

Sichuan Governor Xu Keqiu nodded, and after affirming Zhu Xieyuan's point of view, he expressed his views to Yuan Keli.

Yuan Keli stood up, held his waist belt with his hands and said, "It's true that we can't be neglected. However, this time we are well prepared and don't have to worry about whether we can quell the rebellion of She Chongming. Now the only thing I am worried about is whether other chieftains will follow him to raise an army! To prevent other chieftains from following him, the Yongning chieftains of She Chongming must fight well! Let the other chieftains die this idea!"

"Since you don't have to care about the feelings of the censors in the capital now, it's better to spend more of the money and food allocated by the court to appease the people."

Zhu Xieyuan continued to speak at this time and stood up and said, "According to the knowledge of the officials, the She Chongming tribes were mostly for the Han people, and the military households were the most. They did not really want to follow She Chongming to fight against the court, but were just being bullied. The officials had a strategy that could reduce more than half of the power of She Chongming without spending one soldier. The officials' strategy was to use money and grain to recruit these Han people who defected to She Chongming and even the lower-class barbarians. During his tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land during his tenure in Sichuan, they have reclaimed land and have now reclaimed tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and are preparing to recruit refugees to farm to restore the declining people's livelihood since the rebellion in the State. Now it is better to recruit these people directly, give them grains, give them good land, and let them abandon their spears and become good farmers."

"This strategy is very good! You Zhu Fantai will do this. I personally wrote a handwritten order for you. You can first allocate 200,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of grain to guard Fotu Pass. General Qin has gone to lift the siege of Chengdu. If the She Chongming tribe is not strong enough to attack Cheng, he will definitely come to Chongqing. If you want to draw Chongqing, you will definitely go to Fotu Pass. My official will also let someone speak out, let people know that Chongqing's grain masters will stock up at Fotu Pass, and then they will gather She Chongming tribe at Fotu Pass."

Yuan Keli replied first.

"The official is here to receive the order!"

Zhu Xieyuan immediately bowed.

Then, Yuan Keli raised his thick eyebrows and looked at the other generals: "She Chongming's troops are now surrounded by Chengdu, but he will not be able to take the Chengdu city for a while, because this official has already asked General Li Weixin and Yang Weilu, the Dushi Yang Qiudong each led 3,000 elite troops to gather in Chengdu last month, and stocked 300,000 stones of grain in Chengdu, and asked the deputy envoy Xu Ruke to command the troops. Therefore, as long as Qin Liangyu's troops arrive, he will cooperate inside and outside, and he will be the She Chongming will abandon Chengdu."

"Advanced and wise!"

Xu Keqiu, Zhu Xieyuan and others replied.

"Before this, we had already strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, and asked the prefectures in southern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan to concentrate grain and fodder in Chongqing and Chengdu, and banned business travel. Now it is winter, and there is no prey to fight in the wild. Therefore, his army of Chongming should still be in a state of shortage of food. Once he cannot capture Chengdu, he will definitely come to Chongqing again. Before he comes to Chongqing, we have to set a trap for him."

Yuan Keli said and shouted: "General Du Wenhuan!"

"The last one will be here!"

Chongqing General Du Wenhuan immediately stood up and replied.

"Deputy General Li Shiqi!"

Li Shiqi, deputy general of Zunyi, immediately stood up and replied: "The last general is here!"

"General Wang Jianzhong!"

Wang Jianzhong, the general of Luzhou, also replied: "The last general is here!"

Next, Yuan Keli ordered: "Hold this official's order, you will immediately lead your army to gather in Jiangjin and be ready to besiege the rebels of She Chongming's tribe at any time!"

"Receive the order!"

These generals immediately replied.

After arranging all this, Yuan Keli continued to stay in Chongqing with Sichuan Governor Xu Keqiu.

However, Yuan Keli gave all the defenses of Chongqing City to Xu Keqiu, and only focused on sending the old Sichuan camp soldiers he recruited to inquire about the situation of other chieftains for him, especially the more powerful and somewhat restless Shuixi chieftain.

Therefore, after Yuan Keli arranged everything, he did not focus on pacifying She Chongming's tribe.

In addition, Yuan Keli still adopted a more stringent policy of clearing the countryside, focusing the grain and fodder in Sichuan and Guizhou in big cities such as Chengdu, Chongqing and Guiyang.

Yuan Keli received imperial edicts from Zhu Youxiao one after another. He found that the court had a very consistent idea and asked him to guard against the joint chaos of other chieftains and continue to prepare for hoarding grain and concentrating troops and waiting for encirclement and suppression, but did not specify the time limit for him to suppress the rebellion. Therefore, Yuan Keli responded to the war in the southwest with greater peace of mind.

"Ministry Hall! Jinyiwei Qianhu Liang Tong and others found that there were business travelers heading towards Ba County."

On this day, Yuan Keligang led his own Biao battalion to inspect outside Chongqing City. Deng Qilong, the general of the Biao battalion, reported something to him at this time.

Yuan Keli said solemnly: "Bring them all!"

"yes!"

Soon, these business travelers were brought to Yuan Keli.

A businessman was quite unafraid and broke free from the soldiers who were escorting him and shouted: "What are you doing! Let me go, we are His Highness, and we are the people of His Highness, so you better know more!"

"All cut off! All the supplies brought were confiscated!"

Yuan Keli left this sentence directly.

"yes!"

Deng Qilong came from Liaodong with Yuan Keli, so he naturally obeyed Yuan Keli, so he hurriedly replied, and then Liang Tong, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, who was responsible for checking whether there were any business trips near Chongqing, led his troops to kill the group of merchants on the spot!

For a moment, the sound of swords continued.

This once again showed Yuan Keli's iron-fisted side, just like he dared to suppress the powerful when he was in Suzhou's position as the president of Suzhou.

He seems to not change what he has set for because of anyone, nor will he be open to those who violate the rules he has set. He is obviously a natural talent for leading troops.

Moreover, this effect is very good. Next, no business traveler dared to break the ban and leave Chongqing Prefecture.

Next, Deng Qilong walked to Yuan Keli to report: "Qi Bianbu Hall, after confiscating the materials of this business traveler, it was found that half of them were food and half were gunpowder. These business travelers were indeed bad intentions!"

"Continue to investigate strictly. Now the Ministry of She Chongming can only rely on these business travelers to provide food. We must cut off this path. Whoever dares to violate the order will kill you!"

Yuan Keli said something and said nothing.

At this time, a loose cotton armored soldiers came and as soon as they arrived in front of Yuan Keli, they got off their horses, and then knelt in front of Yuan Keli, saying, "His Royal Highness of Shu and Zhu Tongmeng, the left governor of Sichuan, came to you and asked you to quickly dispatch the elite troops to break the siege of Chengdu!"

Yuan Keli tore off the letter directly and said with a majestic expression: "What's the hurry! Tell His Highness the King of Shu and Zhu Fantai that you can't panic at this time! The siege of Chengdu will be resolved. If they interfere with military affairs, I will not be polite. At that time, I will first use Shangfang's sword to kill him Zhu Tongmeng, and then impeach His Highness the King of Shu to Your Majesty!"
