"What? There is no food in Qingzhou? Where is the food?" Gao Qiu couldn't help but asked anxiously as he jumped three feet high.

"They were robbed by the strong men of Liangshan." Murong Yanda Lenghan, the prefect of Qingzhou, said repeatedly.

"What does this have to do with Liangshan?" Gao Qiu felt a surge of anger rushing straight to his forehead, his whole body was shaking with anger, and he felt a little awkward when speaking.

"After investigation, it was found that the Erlongshan gang pretended to be Liangshan and looted Qingzhou Prefecture in the name of Liangshan. Not only did they rob the Qingzhou Prefecture's treasury and all the weapons, grain, gold and silver, weapons, grain and grass of all the gentry in the city

Er Jing also distributed all the land deeds and land deeds of all the gentry to the common people, and they were completely divided."

"Now that the city is sealed, let alone supplying the army, it is very difficult to maintain daily consumption. Unless the army collects food from the people in the city, it may be able to sustain it for a while. Taiwei, the situation is like this now, and the thing is

For such a matter, please ask the Taiwei to make the final decision and come up with an idea as soon as possible." Murong Yanda said.

When Gao Qiu heard Murong Yanda's words, his eyes went dark, and he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Didn't you say that only two or three wealthy households in the mansion were robbed?"

Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, remained silent and just stood there with his head bowed quietly. They are all foxes for thousands of years, and they are all masters of deception. Do you need to speak so righteously? Who doesn't?

Know who?

Gao Qiu understood what Murong Yanda meant as soon as he saw Murong Yanda's expression. Gao Qiu thought that Qingzhou Prefecture would deceive the superiors and deceive the superiors, but he did not expect that they would deceive the superiors and deceive the subordinates in this way.

Gao Qiu was silent for a long time, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "What is the origin of Erlong Mountain?"

"I don't know." Murong Yanda said slowly.

"I don't know? They have robbed you all, but you don't know anything about them?" Gao Qiu almost fainted from anger when he heard this.

"I also wanted to send a secret agent to Erlong Mountain to investigate, but there are many trivial matters in the mansion and I never took the time." Murong Yanda said unhurriedly.

One of the reasons why Murong Yanda was so unparalleled to Gao Qiu was because of Gao Qiu's background. Gao Qiu was just a small servant. Because of his good cuju, he was appreciated by King Duan, who later became Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Gao Qiu thus

Even if your official career is prosperous and you are moving to a high position, you are practicing nepotism and you are still a military attaché;

The second reason is that Murong Yanda came from an orthodox academic background and came from the civil service line. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the civil service line was the dominant family and relied on literature to control military affairs. Naturally, they looked down on people like Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu cursed secretly, isn't this trivial bullshit just the trivial matter of fighting for power and profit? As for saying it so elegantly?

Not knowing the details of the opponent and having no food or fodder in his hands, Gao Qiu was in a dilemma. Gao Qiu's only impression of Erlong Mountain was that the opponent was very capable of fighting, better than his own imperial army.

"I wonder if the Liangshan strongman can accept the imperial court's invitation?" Gao Qiu suddenly asked.

Of course Gao Qiu didn't want to recruit Yang Mu, but he first appeased him in the name of recruiting him, and then removed his military power before sending him back to the west. Gao Qiu was moved when he heard that Erlong Mountain looted the entire Qingzhou Prefecture. How much would it cost?

Treasures of gold and silver.

However, Yang Zhi had previously gone to recruit people, but was turned back. Gao Qiu subconsciously thought that Yang Zhi was just a general and could not represent the court, so he had to send a heavyweight to recruit people. Obviously he could not go, gentleman.

Gao Qiu thought that he was not a gentleman, so he could not stand in danger. Gao Qiu looked at Murong Yanda.

How could Murong Yanda not know what Gao Qiu meant? Gao Qiu didn't dare to see Yang Mu, and Murong Yanda certainly didn't dare either, for fear that Yang Mu would chop him with a knife. When Murong Yanda saw this, he raised his hands and said, "Mr.

Lieutenant, I have too many important things to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

After Murong Yanda finished speaking, he walked away. Gao Qiu was so angry that he cursed his mother. He had no choice but to order Yang Zhi to leave the city. He did not recruit Yang Mu to surrender, but hoped that Yang Mu would give him a chance to talk in detail. Gao Qiu believed that only

If he sees Yang Mu, he can persuade Yang Mu to recruit him.

Unfortunately, Yang Mu had no intention of recruiting troops, nor did he have any intention of meeting Gao Qiu. As soon as Yang Zhi left the city, he was shot back by a wave of arrows, without even seeing him.

Gao Qiu had no choice but to send people out of the city at night to ask for help from Taiwei Su. Unfortunately, Yang Mu had already surrounded Qingzhou Mansion into an iron barrel. Not to mention people, not even a bird could fly out. Gao Qiu

And without the means of flying pigeons to send messages, they could only be blocked in the city.

Gao Qiu also sent troops to break out of the encirclement, but they were all shot back by a hail of arrows. As he stayed in Qingzhou Mansion for a long time, the food and grass were exhausted, so Gao Qiu had to let his soldiers collect food from the people. However, those forbidden troops were unable to fight and were causing harm to one party.

He was good at it, and for a while, the whole Qingzhou Prefecture was in chaos.

"It's good to be in chaos, tonight is the night to destroy the city." Yang Mu said in a deep voice.

Yang Mu didn't dare to drag it on. If he dragged it on, Gao Qiu, Murong Yanda and the gentry in Qingzhou Prefecture would starve to death, but a large number of people would starve to death. This is not what Yang Mu wants. What Yang Mu wants is people.

Living people can let the common people experience the cruelty of society and see clearly the faces of Zhao and Song officials.

At night, Yang Mu climbed up the city wall easily just like last time. Then, Yang Mu couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "It is said that the armaments were relaxed in the late Zhao and Song Dynasties, but it cannot be done in such a relaxed way. All the troops were besieging the city at night.

Why don’t you send people to guard the city?”

In fact, it's not that Gao Qiu didn't send people to guard the city at night. Gao Qiu did send people to guard the city at night. However, there were policies and countermeasures at the top. Coupled with the lax armament, the imperial army was used to being lazy and was simply too lazy to carry out the orders.

, and went directly to find a place to sleep.

The same was true for the guards at the city gate. Although there were twice as many guards at the city gate, they were all sleeping, both in the main city and in the barbican city. Yang Mu once again used some tricks like last time.

Let them sleep harder and deeper, and then Yang Mu opened the city gate.

Next, Yang Mu's troops quickly occupied the city gates and city walls. Then, Yang Mu's troops occupied the four gates and city walls one after another, completely occupying Qingzhou Mansion.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Mu brought his personal soldier Shi Shiran to the government office, which has become Gao Qiu's residence. Yang Mu easily found Gao Qiu and a basin of cold water

After splashing it, Gao Qiu and Murong woke up in shock.

"Who is it?" Gao Qiu was furious, and when he opened his eyes and was about to scold him, he saw a cold sword light coming into his eyes.

"Hero, spare your life!" Gao Qiu was immediately frightened.

"Put on your clothes and bring your seal." Yang Mu shouted coldly.

Gao Qiu did not dare to say anything, so he immediately put on his clothes and picked up the seal. Yang Mu led a thousand men and horses, escorted Gao Qiu straight to the Forbidden Army camp, and at the same time sent people to arrest all the officials in the city.

When they arrived at the Forbidden Army camp, Yang Mu directly asked Gao Qiu to order the Forbidden Army to surrender. With swords and axes on him, Gao Qiu could no longer care about anything else and directly ordered the Forbidden Army to put down their weapons and surrender. Seeing that their commander had been captured, the Forbidden Army soldiers had no choice but to put down their weapons and surrender.

Yang Mu would not raise them, he would directly disrupt them, then deploy the strong troops, and escort them to his own territory to either build roads or dig rivers and bridges. Anyway, he would not raise them in vain.

When these forbidden soldiers saw this, they were not only not angry but overjoyed. In their view, this was obviously a way for them to survive, and they were led to work without any resistance.

"Sad, sad, sad, the Zhao family has completely broken the spine of our warriors from the land of China." Yang Mu looked at a small flag team of ten people escorting a hundred people of forbidden troops, but these forbidden troops did not dare to resist at all, and his heart rose.

There was an inexplicable sadness.

Yang Mu glanced at Gao Qiu again. If Gao Qiu did not insist on living in the government office for enjoyment, but lived in a military camp, Yang Mu would not have been able to succeed so easily.

Yang Mu then escorted Gao Qiu to the government office of Qingzhou Mansion. At this time, all the officials in Qingzhou City, big and small, were escorted to the government office by Yang Mu's men.
