In a blink of an eye, May has finally come to good luck, ending the drought that has started last winter. The rain for more than ten consecutive days eliminated the drought. Many dried ponds have become abundant again, and the mountains and fields covered with yellow grass have become a little green, which seems to have recovered a lot of vitality. The continuous rain also makes the road muddy, making the army's movement very difficult. The offensive of the refugee army that was plundering everywhere has stopped. After the Wu army, who has replaced the commander, has completed the suppression of sporadic civil unrest in the prefectures and counties north of Langtanzhou and stabilized the rear, it did not rashly attack Hengzhou, the central city of the refugee army. The entire situation is like a bull entering the mud, and it suddenly stagnated.

Hengzhou Governor's Mansion. Song Erlang was reading a stack of texts in the house. At this time, the Sandao walked in from the outside world in a hurry. The brown outer robe hem and front of the front were covered with dark red blood. When he entered the house, he picked up the copper spoon beside him and scooped a spoonful of cows in the bucket and drank it. Song Erlang raised his head, frowned slightly, and asked, "Lao San, what's wrong with the blood on your body?"

The third leader threw the copper spoon into the bucket, and the beard under his chin was covered with water droplets. He replied with a smile: "It's nothing. I caught more than a dozen guys who spread rumors. He whipped two hundred whips, and then all beheaded and displayed at the city gate!"

Song Erlang put down the text in his hand and asked in a deep voice: "Spread rumors? Behead them and show them to the public? What is going on? Tell me quickly and listen to me?"

The third leader hurriedly explained the whole story in detail. It turned out that a few days ago, a small group of refugees went to attack a small stronghold called Hua Shishu in Tanzhou, but was defeated by the guards and captured dozens of people. According to the records of the two sides' confrontation in the past, these unlucky men who were captured must have been beheaded by the Wu soldiers. For some reason, the Wu soldiers not only did not behead them all, but instead taught the prisoners a lesson and released them all.

Some of these prisoners returned to Tanzhou City and brought Wu Bing back, saying that all the refugees who participated in the rebellion would put down their weapons, return to their hometown, and engage in agriculture and serenity, and the government would not pursue the matter. They also said that the previous Zhong Liuguan was trying to exploit the people in Hunan. The King of Wu did not know about it. After learning about this, he was furious and replaced by a clean Mr. Cui. Cheng Rentai, the big profiteer who was accomplice, had been accused of the tiger, had been manned by the new Cui Xianggong.

The door was cut off and the city gate was suspended. All the property in the house was confiscated to provide relief to the hungry people in Tanzhou. In order to allow the people to recuperate, they were granted three years of tax exemption and three years of tax exemption. When the refugees in Tanzhou heard the news, they were shocked. After all, it was raining now, and many people remembered the fields at home. Although it was already over the season to plant rice, as long as there was rain, they could still replenish some corn, millet and other grains.

, who would support the autumn grain. As long as the government does not pursue the matter, who would be willing to risk the destruction of the whole family to do business in Shatou? After telling the situation, the Sandang family said: "These guys spread rumors and shake the morale of the army. I immediately arrested all of these guys, beat them hard outside the east gate, and then beheaded and displayed in public. Finally, the matter was over!" Speaking of this, the Sandang family was straight and proud, with a gloomy face, waiting for Song Erlang's praise.

After listening to the story of the Sanding Master, Song Erlang looked gloomy and seemed to be dripping from water. He stood up and paced back and forth in the house. Sanding Master looked at it, but his heart became weak and said anxiously: "Master Master, is it that we have done something wrong?"

Song Erlang stopped and said, "Go to the army quickly and find two more people who have heard those rumors. Let's say the original words again and listen to me! Hurry!"

Seeing that Song Erlang was stern and didn't know what happened, the third head turned around and ran out of the house. He came back only at dusk. He pointed to the two old men with white hair behind him and panted to Song Erlang, "Big Master, this person is hard to find. No one said he had never heard of those bastards. Only these two old men are the fathers of beheaded people. I must have heard of them. I came and asked the boss to ask him for a question!" Speaking of this, the third head turned around and scolded the two old men, "Well, that old man, I won't bow down to see the chief minister!"

The two old men leaned over and knelt down. After the boss finished kneeling down, he said in a deep voice: "Get up, the army has its own laws. Your son is in disguised the public. I will deal with it in accordance with the military law, not with private revenge. You two have not violated the law, so don't worry, if you die, I will be punished by the army in accordance with the battle. Now I ask you, what have they said to you after they came back from Huashishu?"

The two old men looked at each other, and the younger one whispered: "Report to the Chief Secretary, after my child came back, I only said that the Wu army would put them back, and said that the new husband said that he only needed to go home to farm and get rid of everything, and then he would be given up for three years. The evil Cheng Rentai, who had committed many evil, had been beheaded and displayed in public. He also said that the King of Wu had led a 100,000 army to Wuchang, and arrived at the end of the month. When the army arrived, it was burned. He regretted it at that time, saying that there was already rain and that he wanted to return home with the old man, but he did not expect to be-!" At this point, the old man covered his face and cried bitterly.

Song Erlang comforted him and said, "Don't be sad either. Your son was deceived by the Wu thieves. Seeing that our army was powerful and could not be defeated, they wanted to spread rumors. You all returned home. At that time, you were weak and you were still at their mercy? Your son became the knife in the Wu thieves' hands. It was really pitiful!" At this point, Song Erlang ordered his subordinates to put the two old men back, and each of them gave them ten pieces of silk for burning and burying. The two old men retreated with gratitude.

When the third head of the house saw the two old men retreating, he laughed loudly: "Brother is kind-hearted! These two old men are lucky to meet the shopkeeper."

"What do you know!" Song Erlang sneered: "You whip and behead your head, and those people are just afraid of your power and dare not speak out. If you don't care about your virtue, you will sooner or later disband. You will regret it at that time!"

Although the third leader seemed to understand it, he quickly raised his thumbs up and said, "The boss is indeed far-sighted, not to be able to match it!"

Song Erlang waved his hand, stopped Sandang's flattery and continued to pace and think about it in the room. Although Sandang's family didn't know what Song Erlang was thinking at this time, they still stood aside and waited patiently.

After about half an hour, it was already dark. Song Erlang suddenly stopped, raised his head, looked directly at the head of the third leader, and whispered: "Three, do you think we have won?"

Although Song Erlang's voice was not loud, he heard the third leader's ears as if he was thundering. He couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "Brother, what do you mean?"

When Song Erlang heard this, he understood that the third leader suspected that he was deliberately testing him, and quickly explained: "Three brothers, you and I are alone in the room. If you have anything to say, I will hear it, then no third person will know. If you say anything, just say it, don't worry!"

The third leader hesitated for a moment and finally whispered: "As far as I see, we now have more than 100,000 troops. The two battalions trained by the fourth brother are quite powerful, and the outcome is unknown!"

"Those are all mobs. The elite soldiers of the fourth brother can compare with Wu soldiers?" Song Erlang snorted coldly.

"Brother, why did you raise an army at that time?" The third leader widened his eyes: "Isn't this a self-seeking?" At this point, he realized that his words were not very good, so he hurriedly shut up.

"It's just one time and another!" Song Erlang said coldly: "I thought at that time that if there was a chaos in Hunan, the forces of all directions would definitely arise. Although the Wu army was strong at that time, they had too many enemies. If many parties started together, he could deal with one end and not deal with the other end, and we had the opportunity to take advantage of it. But now it has been two months since the rebellion, and even Ma Chu has not moved. After Lu Fang left Wuchang, who would dare to stroke the tiger's beard? The Wu army has gradually made a fuss, but it is not in a hurry to send troops. We should first disperse the people's hearts with a gentle plan, but I'm afraid the situation will not be good!"

When Song Erlang said this, the third head of the head was already sweating heavily on his forehead and asked in a low voice: "Why do you think we should do it?"

"The only way to do it now is to act according to the opportunity!" Song Erlang sighed. He had already had many thoughts in his mind, but he had to suppress himself on weekdays. He just stimulated the news from the two dildos like a catalyst. After he said it, he felt a sense of fear in his heart. At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the outside. The two of them unconsciously raised their heads and looked out the door. They saw someone standing outside, but Shang Jinzhong said anxiously: "No, something happened in Shaozhou!"

"Shaozhou?" Song Erlang and the third leader looked at each other, and both saw doubt in each other's eyes. Shaozhou was Ma Chu's territory. As the saying goes, "the enemy of the enemy is a friend." Although Ma Chu did not admit that the refugee army had launched the banner of "restoring the Great Chu and expelling the Wu bandits", it has maintained a kind of neutrality in the past two months, and some Chu troops sold armor to the refugee army. The senior leaders of the refugee army had great expectations for Ma Chu to raise an army to rebel against Wu. Although there has been no movement in Shaozhou, it has always been the stable rear of the refugee army. Now it is said that something happened there, which is a bolt from the blue for them.
