Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 164

[Chapter 164]

to Shanggu City, the gate of Fu Yamen.

Liu Fu paced back and forth, with a look of anxiety on his face.

At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes, and a group of silver armored cavalry appeared in his vision.

Seeing this, he hurried forward a few steps, and when the cavalry dismounted, he hurriedly asked: “What’s the matter?

” Control the soldiers of Shanggu County, and His Highness will arrive soon.” The cavalry said loudly.

“Hahaha, that’s great.” Liu Fu was overjoyed.

He turned to Qin Shan and said, “Captain Qin, I will leave the rest to you.”

“Don’t worry, Wang Fu.” Qin Shan clasped his fists, and since he took over Shanggu County, he has led 5,000 people to garrison here.

Turning around, he raised his feet and went to the camp to dispatch troops.

At this moment, a cavalryman came in a hurry and got off his horse. The cavalryman said: “My lord, the county soldiers have run away!

”

“Run along the official road to the north!” The cavalry pointed north.

Qin Shan and Liu Fu looked at each other, it was the direction of Gaojiawu Fort.

“Gao Yuanding heard the news of the defeat, and gathered troops to try to rely on Wubao to resist.” Liu Fu said.

Qin Shan snorted angrily, “The last general will lead the troops to surround Gaojiawu Fort, and we will deal with it when His Highness arrives.”

Liu Fu nodded.

…

Gaojiawu Fort.

A group of wealthy officials surrounded the plateau.

After the initial panic, he immediately asked each family to transfer the remaining private soldiers to their own docks.

Shanggu County.

Gaojiawu Fort has the largest area and the highest and thickest walls, just like a small city.

As long as there are enough soldiers in Wubao, he believes that unless the food and grass in Wubao are exhausted, King Yan’s soldiers will never want to break through the city.

“Everyone, don’t panic. I have already sent people to Fanyang. Master Yuan will definitely keep us alive.”

Although Wubao has enough food and horses, the officials all have worried expressions on their faces.

Worried about people’s confusion, he brought out Yuan Li to comfort him.

“That’s right, with Master Yuan still around, how could the King of Yan be allowed to do whatever he wants.”   ” The Yuan   family

has 200,000 troops. As long as Master Yuan sends troops to rescue us, the King of Yan will do nothing.” They comforted each other one after another, but some people were frowning.   Just at this time, someone shouted again: “The county soldiers are here.”   The officials of Gao Yuan and the Hao family were excited for a while.   Together with the private soldiers in Wubao, the three thousand county soldiers are nearly 20,000.   Fort Dock is safe for now.   Less than half an hour after the county soldiers arrived, the watchmen on Wubao shouted again: “The army of King Yan is coming, the army of King Yan is coming.” Gao Yuan   and his eldest son Gao Man immediately boarded the wall of Wubao.   I saw flags waving on the road leading to Gaojiawu Fort, and the word “Swallow” on the flags was particularly eye-catching.   Under the banner, King Yan’s soldiers in silver armor are coming towards Wubao.   However, this group of soldiers seemed to have no intention of attacking the city.   It just occupied the main road outside Wubao and surrounded Wubao from four directions.   ”This is a soldier from Shanggu City.” Gao Yuan narrowed his eyes.   The news of their failure to ambush King Yan may have reached Liu Fu’s ears.   Gao Yuan felt restless for a while.   Now he can only pin all his hopes on Yuan Li.   …

evening.

Zhao Xu arrived at Shanggu City under the escort of soldiers from the palace.

As soon as he entered the city, he was stunned.

I saw that the streets of Shanggu City were full of common people. These common people seemed to be celebrating the New Year, with smiles on their faces and beaming.

“His Royal Highness King Yan is here, please get out of the way.”

Lu Chang, who was in front of the team, said to the people who were blocking the road.

This sentence is like a stone entering the water, immediately splashing countless water.

The people automatically retreated to both sides of the road, and then unexpectedly knelt down one by one.

“His Royal Highness Yan is a thousand years

old. Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me   .

”   Since Shanggu County was assigned to King Yan’s fiefdom, they suddenly felt that life had finally come to an end.   And when the powerful clan handed over the occupied land, they even felt that the sky in Shanggu County seemed to be clear.   Unexpectedly, the powerful clan immediately counterattacked.   They secretly instigated idlers and slaves in the market to come to the people’s homes to intimidate them.   The land they had just acquired was taken away before they were warmed up.   At this time, Shanggu County returned to darkness.   But I didn’t expect it to be today.   Liu Fu of the palace suddenly sent soldiers to arrest officials of the rich family and their minions everywhere in the city.   Later, they learned the news that King Yan’s army had defeated the Hao clan’s rebellion, and now they were going to wipe out the Shanggu Hao clan.   After that, Shanggu County will be like Yan County, where everyone has land to grow, and life has a future.   So, they flooded the streets because they couldn’t vent their joy at seeing the sun again.

Now, seeing King Yan, they couldn’t control it even more.

They had nothing but knelt down and kowtowed to King Yan to express their gratitude.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the palace seemed to be relieved of their exhaustion in an instant.

It is worthwhile for them to fight with their lives. They liberated the people of Shanggu County from the vicious nobles in Shanggu.

And this is what King Yan said, the meaning of the battle – within the king’s land, every commoner has a field, eats enough, wears warm clothes, and will live a more prosperous life in the future.

“Everyone, please stand up.” Zhao Xu’s expression was moved by the roar of mountains and tsunami in front of him.

He got off his horse and helped the people up himself.

The people who stood up all had tears in their eyes, an old man said: “Your Highness, from now on, in Shanggu County, can everyone in Shangyan County have land and no longer be enslaved by the rich?”

“Yes!” Zhao Xu firmly He said: “From now on, everyone of you will have a field, and you will no longer have to worry about the land being taken away by others. This is my promise to you.” When

King Yan said this, the people around became more and more excited.

One by one, they danced happily, like a child who got candy.

Along the road, Zhao Xu continued to walk forward, helping up the kneeling people along the way.

On the way, he met Liu Fu who was also walking.

He was also blocked by the people and did not meet him at the gate of the city in time.

When they met, Liu Fu looked apologetic, “Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude.”

“At this time, don’t care about these details.” Zhao Xu said.

When he came to the government office, Zhao Xu comforted the people at the door.

The people who had been following and were unwilling to leave dispersed one after another.

Entering the government office, Zhao Xu said to Liu Fu: “In the past two days, you have transferred some officials from Yan County, and by the way, recruited some local officials to rebuild the officialdom of Shanggu County. In addition, count the number of people and the amount of land, and distribute the land.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Liu Fu was excited for a while.

He dreamed that this day would come sooner.

Otherwise, within a sealed land, a place that cannot be controlled really makes him uncomfortable.

Zhao Xu nodded and found that Qin Shan was not there, so he asked, “Where is Qin Shan?”

Liu Fu then told the story of the Shanggu nobles gathering troops in Gaojiawu Fort and Qin Shan besieging Gaojiawu Fort.

Zhao Xu nodded lightly, “Since most of the wealthy families are gathered in Wubao, once Chang Wei and Mo Yu take down the county town and join forces, they can wipe them all out.”
