Chapter 632 Gao Yi's Betrayal
Lu Yuan wanted to calm the internal struggle between Mizhang's officers and soldiers and powerful private soldiers, but he did not expect that the other side also began to have problems.
At the same time, they were robbed by officers and soldiers and powerful men. The people of Mizhang, who were finally unable to bear it, gathered one after another. When the public grievances rose to a certain level, they naturally broke out.
Peasant uprisings occurred in various places in Mizhang, launching offensives against local officers and soldiers and powerful people, vowing to take back everything they belong to, or avenge the families who were victimized during this period.
For a moment, beacons rose everywhere in Mizhang County.
Lu Yuan was even more panicked. The internal strife between the officers and soldiers and the powerful had already caused him a headache. Now the people of Mizhang County can finally bear the uprising everywhere, which has put him in trouble.
The Chinese outside the city are eyeing each other with scattered troops and will not miss any opportunity, as if they are surrounded by enemies. If they are not stopped in time, the consequences will be unimaginable!
The root cause is the military ration problem.
The small granary was broken and important supplies were cut off. Due to the military rations problem, the situation continued to deteriorate.
I am afraid there will be no change if he just asked him to choose again. Faced with such a situation, there is no other choice. The only omission is that he did not strictly control military discipline at the beginning. Once there is a cross-border incident, there will only be more and more things that cannot be curbed.
The officers and soldiers in the city fought against the powerful and did not give in to each other. They fought each other and had no worries.
Lu Yuan led his troops to arrive, forcibly separate the two sides, and used his own force to stop the fight, forcing them to stop.
Taking Lu Yuan's power, both sides stopped, but their hatred had already formed.
Both sides suffered losses during the battle, which was difficult to understand.
Lu Yuan used the situation outside the city to convince the officers and soldiers and the powerful, so that both sides could let go of the dispute for the time being and resist foreign enemies together. At the same time, he needed to deal with the public grievances in the city and calm them down as soon as possible so as not to take the opportunity to act.
Both sides put the overall situation first, temporarily put aside their grudges, and obey Lu Yuan's orders to work together to suppress the uprising army in the city.
Mi Yuansheng quickly learned about what was happening in Mizhang County through intelligence, so he discussed with Liang Teng: "The opportunity should not be missed, and you will not come again! The civil strife in Mizhang County should attack with all your strength and take down the city!"
Liang Teng agreed with his opinion: "You can recruit Pei Ji and Yang Zhao to attack the South Gate. You and I will encircle the two city gates in the east and north respectively, so that they cannot take into account both inside and outside!"
So he acted quickly and divided his troops to siege.
Pei Ji and Yang Zhao received the order and ordered Gaolin County Magistrate Guo Lu to be optimistic about the city and lead troops back to cooperate with Mi Yuansheng and Liang Teng's attack.
Lu Yuan's pressure increased dramatically, and the people in the county were uprising. Although the officers and soldiers and powerful people joined forces and were suppressed in many places, more rebel troops appeared in other places. At this time, Mi Yuansheng and Liang Teng began to attack the two city gates in the east and north. Military information showed that Pei Ji and Yang Zhao had turned around and returned, and the situation became more serious.
In desperation, Feige could only send a letter to contact the prefect of Tumen, hoping that he could send troops to help Mi Zhang in time.
Xu Song, the chief clerk of Mizhang, saw the changes in the situation inside and outside the city, especially the people of Mizhang were forced to fight and continue to revolt. Lu Yuan not only did not appease the people, but instead ordered officers and soldiers to jointly suppress the powerful and powerful, which was quite disappointed.
Although he also knew that resisting the Chinese army now requires these powerful private soldiers, Lu Yuan would not blame them for the people, nor would he risk the attack on Mizhang County to punish the officers and soldiers and powerful people who plundered the people in order to quell the public's grievances. But such things are really unbearable.
Although he looked down on the Chinese country where women were emperors and was unwilling to serve a woman, the other party's policy of putting people first and the attitude of Liang's treatment of the people was in sharp contrast.
Coupled with the change in the situation, he could not see the hope of Liang Guo winning. He struggled for a long time and finally made a decision.
As the chief official of Mizhang and an important official around the prefect, he still speaks very seriously.
Especially, he knew very well about Mizhang Prefect Gao and was confident that he could persuade the other party, so he visited him privately.
Gao Yi still trusted Xu Song very much. When he learned that the other party was visiting, he immediately put down his visit and received it alone.
When Xu Song saw Gao Yi, he asked: "General Lu and his troops and powerful men plundered the people and insulted women. The people were suffering so much. As the lord of a county, the people were in trouble. Seeing that the people suffered, the people were full of grievances, they didn't know what they thought?"
Gao Yi sighed when he heard this: "Lu Yuan has a noble status, a very high status, and has the power of military power. Although our residence is dissatisfied, how dare he speak nonsense?"
"Officers and soldiers cannot protect the people, and the powerful are like bandits. The mansion respects the people, but the people regard the people as the people and Lu Yuan!" Xu Song said, "Now Lu Yuan sends the officers and soldiers to suppress the people. The people all say that the mansion respects the parents, but they are in the ranks with the bandits..."
"What does Chief Xu want to say?" Gao Yi was not stupid, and he heard that Xu Song had other intentions.
Xu Song bowed and asked, "The Lord of the House thinks that being an official is for honor or for the people?"

"I am an official, so I am for the people in the county!" Gao Yi sincerely replied, "This residence is from Mizhang, and the people in the county are all family members."
"As a subordinate, he also values the respect for the people of the government and loves the people. But now, the family of the government and the family are being harmed and struggling in despair. How can he not see the government and save him?"
"How can you have no power!" Gao Yi sighed.
"The Lord of the Mansion is just surrendering to Lu Yuan's power, so he dare not take action!" Xu Song said sternly.
"This..." Gao Yi stood up nervously, went to the door to carefully observe, and returned to the room and whispered, "Chief Xu, be careful!"
"The people of Mizhang regard the Duke as their parents. Now they are forced to a desperate situation. Duke is so afraid, who will make the decision for them?"
"What does Xu Changli mean..."
"Please give me the right to make the decision for the people of Mizhang!" Xu Song knelt down.
Gao Yi was startled and hurriedly reached out to support him: "Although this mansion is the prefect of Mizhang, Lu Yuan is a royal relative and a general of the cavalry. Now that foreign enemies are surrounded by them, it is such a critical moment..."
"After all, the Lord of the House has forgotten his original intention and does not put the people first!" Xu Song sighed, "If this is the case, I will not know the people clearly."
"Xu Zhengli!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Gao Yi hurriedly stopped him, "I have never forgotten my original intention, but I can't do anything at the moment! If the Chief Secretary has a solution, it's better to say to me!"
"Do you dare to say it, but do you dare to listen?" Xu Song turned around and asked seriously.
Gao Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded seriously: "Please tell me clearly!"
"Can the Lord of the Mansion know the general trend of the world?" Xu Song asked with his hands.
"Why did the chief clerk ask this?"
"The sixteen states in the world, and the Chinese state occupies fifteen! The Danyang King Ning Ze pacified the princes of the world, destroyed the Nancheng, surrendered to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the national strength was prosperous. Now our Daliang only relies on the land of one state, and the national strength was empty and the military source was insufficient. How can we stop it? Ning Ze was already in a difficult battle in the future. If he personally sent troops, no one could defeat Daliang. According to my opinion, the Chinese state would definitely win the 16 states!" Xu Song said, "I heard that the country put the people first and would be able to treat the people well. If the Mansion could take Lu Yuan, he would pacify the head and open the city to surrender, he would be able to quell the rebellion and wipe out the powerful! At that time, the people would praise him and be worthy of his parents!"
"Is Chief Xu asking our mansion to treason?" Gao Yi's face changed drastically.
"The Master of the Concubine is wrong! Since China will sooner or later seize Yunzhou and unify the world, this move shows the Concubine's vision. The Concubine is for the sake of the people of Mizhang and is a righteous act. We follow the Concubine's leader and will definitely help us!"
Gao Yi lowered his head and thought for a long time and finally looked up: "Lu Yuan is very skilled in martial arts and has heavy troops in his hands; he is a resourceful person. How can this mansion be an opponent?"
"Don't worry!" Xu Song said, "Now the situation inside and outside the city is urgent. Lu Yuan and Yan Ping are both officers and soldiers. The powerful are fighting internally, and the people are in trouble. The people are in a hurry to revolt. The Chinese soldiers and horses are siegeing the city and attacking with great pressure. In this situation, the biggest problem is that there is insufficient military rations. The official invited him to hold a banquet and said that the subordinates had a clever plan to resolve the current crisis. He secretly sent people to contact the Chinese generals outside the city and agreed to cooperate with the outside. At that time, he would hide a knife and axe player at the banquet. After Lu Yuan, Yan Ping threw a cup as a trump card and chop it into meat paste. Then open the door and let the Chinese soldiers and horses come in to solve Lu Yuan's troops and the powerful troops in the county. At that time, he would come forward to appease the people. Major matters could be settled!"
Gao Yi was shocked when he heard this and said worriedly: "If the matter fails, you and I will die without a place to bury you and I will die!"
"If you can save the people of Mizhang, the officials will be willing to give up this cheap life!" Xu Song asked back, "Do you dare not?"
Gao Yi pondered for a moment: "Why don't you dare? This matter must be meticulous and no mistake can be allowed!"
Seeing him expressing his opinion, Xu Song was overjoyed: "Don't worry, Master of the Mansion! The official made arrangements in person and decided that there was no mistake!"
Gao Yi asked Xu Song to start making arrangements.
Xu Song summoned his confidant to prepare the knife and axe driver in advance and prepare carefully.
Everything was ready, and Lu Yuan was invited to the banquet in the name of Taishou Gao Yi.
Lu Yuan was troubled by the matter inside the city. He wasted a lot of energy in suppressing the rebels everywhere and had to deal with the Chinese soldiers outside the city. He was simply incompetent. The root of all this was because of food shortage. Since the granary was broken, the military rations of Mizhang County were limited. He was worried that he could only make careful calculations and eat for the people.
After finally waiting for the Chinese troops to retreat temporarily, they could take a breath. They were having a headache about military food problems, but suddenly received an invitation. Xu Song, the chief official next to the prefect Gao Yi, had a wonderful plan to solve the biggest problem at the moment.
So he called Shang Yanping and rushed to the prefect's mansion.
The mansion has arranged a banquet, and the prefect Gao also personally welcomes Lu Yuan, and Yan Ping takes his seat.
Seeing that all the officials in the county were there, Xu Song had already entered the seat. Yan Ping asked: "I heard that Chief Xu thought of a clever plan that could solve the problem of food and grass?"
Xu Song smiled and nodded: "I thought hard these days and I occasionally gain something! The general and Junshi Yan are quite tired, afraid that the rice has not been stained. I will eat something to put my stomach on my stomach first, and then listen to the officials to say slowly."
Lu Yuan, Yan Ping had no doubts and sat down one after another.
Gao Yi personally toasted and hosted the two, and other officials were there to accompany him, and the atmosphere was pretty good.
Halfway through the wine, Lu Yuan was a little drunk, looked at Xu Song and asked, "What a clever plan Xu thought of, please give me some advice!"
Xu Song and Gao Yi looked at each other, stood up with a glass of wine and said, "The strategy of Xiaguan is very simple, you just need to borrow two things!"
"What do you want to borrow?" Lu Yuan asked in confusion.
"Please borrow the heads of the general and the military advisor!" After Xu Song's words, Gao Yi next to him immediately threw a cup. Hundreds of swords and axes rushed into the hall in an instant, surrounding Lu Yuan and Yan Ping.
