Chapter 116: Undercurrents Don't Stop (Part 1)

This is a narrow valley, with a slender path winding between the inside and outside. On weekdays, except for the farmers collecting herbs, no one else pays attention to it.

Today, under the warm sun, a large number of vegetation fell down in the originally airtight valley, revealing the black soil that had not seen light for a long time.

With the help of the overbearing branches falling, those seeds buried deep in the ground began to sprout impatiently, absorbing the sunlight, and worked hard to grow.

What makes them even more happy is that on the ground, there are suddenly corpses one after another slowly integrating with the ground, and the land soaked in blood provides a great boost for growth.

In the valley, some corpses were covered with arrows, with faces full of pain; some corpses were pierced by branches, with their mouths open wide; there were also corpses with mutilated arms and huge tooth marks telling what happened to them. What's more, it has been crushed under the boulder and turned into meat...

"Dutou, Zuo Longhu's army has been completely annihilated, and 3,316 people were captured, including the observers and commanding envoys. The rest are all gone."

"Very good!" Li Xin looked at the densely packed corpses in the valley, the horizontal and vertical flags, and the horizontal red blood, with a rare hint of joy on his face.

"Order the baggage camp to clean it carefully. Flags, armor, and clothing must not be left behind. As for the corpses, they must be buried properly, otherwise it will cause miasma and plague!"

"The military police will carefully check everyone's achievements and report them to me!"

Military orders were distributed one after another. The aftermath of the war was very important and could not be delayed for a moment.

"Du Tou, what should we do with these forbidden troops?"

"Invite Commander Huang and the military envoy to come up!" Li Xin said calmly, and the soldiers behind him naturally brought a chair. After sitting down, he ordered:

"Those Imperial Guards all had their nostrils turned to the sky. I thought they were so capable. They were just rocks and wood, but they actually surrendered. Alas, they have rotted away without fighting for a long time -"

When the soldier behind him heard this, his nose twitched. You said it is light and easy. Hundreds of rocks as big as cylinders, how do you call it despair? If you don't invest, you will really be a meat pie...

"Oh, look, isn't this the Commander-in-Chief? Why is he so embarrassed!"

At this time, the captured Commander Huang of the Zuo Longhu Army had been escorted up. He was in a very embarrassed state, with a gray face, holes in his clothes and armor.

"Who are you? Do you know the consequences of attacking the Forbidden Army?" Huang Yang looked at this group of troops whose armor was more glorious than his own and other Forbidden Army, and was shocked. What kind of financial resources did they have to have such equipment?

Could it be that they want to rebel?

"Forbidden Army? Of course I know about it, and I got the imperial court's permission to attack you!" Li Xin rolled his eyes, full of confidence, and said with white teeth:

"Every move you made since you left Panyu has been reported to me. What happened today is just a matter of time!"

Upon hearing his words, Huang Yang's face instantly turned pale. Is the internal fighting in the imperial court so intense?

For a moment, his mind kept thinking about which big shot it was, Gong Taishi? Chen Gongshi? Or the Xianggong in the court?

Confused, unwilling, and with his future ruined, this pain made him silent.

"Your Excellency, I am a member of Grand Master Gong. If I am willing to surrender, I can also get the sergeant to join me!" The military observer on the side immediately screamed, his desire for life making him unable to remain silent.

"Eunuchs? I hate eunuchs the most in my life. Drag them out and kill them!"

"Help! Help..." The sharp voice resounded throughout the valley, startling a group of resting birds.

"What do you need me to do?" Huang Yang lowered his head and asked.

"Only by letting the soldiers surrender can you save your head!" Li Xin looked directly at the commander and said softly.

"Yes, no matter who you serve for, please tell the outside world that Huang Yang and Huang Ziguang have been loyal to the king!"

"Okay!" Li Xin thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you!" He said this with his dry lips, and Commander Huang finally smiled.

Countless corpses were placed on the road, including women, children, old people, and even skinny men. Looking at it, it was extremely spectacular.

"This turmoil should never have happened!" Zhao Kuangyin, sitting on his horse, looked at the one-sided massacre with emotion.

This is Mizhou, which belongs to the boundary of Shandong. The entire Shandong state suddenly broke into turmoil this spring. Several groups of bandits, large and small, all equipped with armor, attacked cities and plundered villages.

For a time, the entire Pinglu Town became uneasy.

In response, the emperor in Tokyo vigorously suppressed them. As a general under Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin was ordered to come and suppress them. Within a month, most of these bandits were vulnerable to a single blow and were wiped out.

Facing this victory, Zhao Kuangyin was not very happy.

"How innocent these people are. They have suffered this crime in vain. The turmoil this spring has delayed spring plowing. It is becoming more and more difficult for farmers this year!"

"Commander Jie's words are reasonable. Who doesn't know that this turmoil is just the work of those local wealthy families, and its purpose is to warn Tokyo." As the secretary-general, Zhao Pu also followed.

"The officials have sent envoys to comfort the Kong family. I hope they can live in peace!"

"It's just treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. The official's move is just to add some cold water to the boiling water to temporarily stop the boiling. As long as the fields are constantly surveyed, the land will not be safe!" Zhao Pu shook his head and rejected Zhao Kuangyin's words.

"Competing with the people for profit will make the world unstable!"

Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin nodded, thinking in his mind that although land surveying was a good thing that benefited the country and the people, the price was too high. Without the support of those local wealthy families, how could the officials in Tokyo secure the throne.

"The world has not yet been unified, and the officials are too eager to do things. It would be wise to wait until the world is unified and then proceed slowly."

"Commander Jie has quelled the chaos this time. I think he will gain more and more trust from the officials. It's easy to get promoted to a higher position!"

"Difficult, a few days ago, I just conquered Huainan with the official family, and I still have to wait for a while to be promoted to an official position!" Zhao Kuangyin's dark face darkened and he shook his head.

"It's easy this time, let's go back! Brothers are eager to go home!"

"Jie Shuai, you came to Qidi this time and left like that?"

"Otherwise? Didn't I come here just to quell the civil unrest? What else is there?" Zhao Kuangyin's face was full of doubts. What kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Pu's gourd? "Go to the Confucius Mansion to see Duke Wenxuan. This is a first-class one."

Big deal!" Zhao Pu had a solemn look on his face.

In the Tang Dynasty, Confucius was named King Wenxuan, and his descendants inherited the title of Duke Wenxuan.

"I am a martial artist, and I worship the martial saint. What do I have to do with Duke Wenxuan?" Zhao Kuangyin was really puzzled.
