Chapter 242 Cut Weeds and Roots
Yizhou.
Huang Songyuan's life is no different from before. He still enjoys singing, dancing, drinking and having fun all day long.
It can even be said that it is more comfortable than before, because when he was the Lord of Shu, he was addicted to singing and dancing, there were always people like Lian Xiao who came to disturb his atmosphere. He had to deal with official affairs, but now, no one disturbed him.
He can enjoy himself as much as possible.
However, his mansion was surrounded by heavy troops. On the surface, he was protected and prepared strictly, but in fact, he was just house arrest.
The army is of course Xiao Yuan's army.
But he likes singing and dancing, but some people can't stand it anymore, that is his nephew Cui Sheng.
He was under house arrest all day long and could not go out, and the news could not be spread. How could Cui Sheng sit there? On that day, while Huang Songyuan was enjoying singing and dancing in the hall, Cui Sheng came over.
When Huang Songyuan saw him, he called out repeatedly: "Nephew is here, hurry up, come here and have a few drinks with me."
"Oh my uncle!" Cui Sheng walked closer to Huang Songyuan and said anxiously: "Why are you so elegant!"
"What's wrong with this?" Huang Songyuan was puzzled.
Cui Sheng said anxiously: "We have been under house arrest here for so long. We are like walking corpses. If we don't do anything, how can we survive!"
Hearing this, Huang Songyuan felt aroused his heart. After all, he was a lord. Although he was the position he passed down from his father, he was now at the mercy of others. If he had no thoughts in his heart, it would definitely be impossible.
At this time, he had no intention of enjoying the singing and dancing, but asked in a voice: "What do you mean..."
Cui Sheng said: "We can use a lot of gold and silver to bribe Wei He first, then find a way to contact my uncle's old subordinates, and then incite the people of Yizhou..."
Wei He, who he said, was the Qin general who was responsible for house arrest. As time went by, Huang Songyuan could naturally be no longer able to stay, and Xiao Yuan's decision to eliminate the roots was not problematic.
But he couldn't do this matter openly, because when Huang Songyuan led the officials in Shu to surrender, Xiao Yuan surrendered. If he beheaded him explicitly, there would be a sufficient reason, so he secretly sent him.
Liang originally handled this matter.
Huang Songyuan was secretly discussing with Cui Sheng. On the other hand, Liang Yuan had arrived in Yizhou and brought a group of elite subordinates of Zhong Bai.
After arriving in Yizhou, Liang Yuan immediately found Wei He, took out a letter, and said, "This is the lord's order, please ask General Wei to check it out."
The latter first glanced at him, then took the letter, unfolded it and said directly: "I understand."
The next day, before Huang Songyuan could bribe Wei He, the latter was already wearing armor and a battle knife, and with a large number of soldiers, he quickly came over.
Seeing this scene, Huang Songyuan was startled and stood up from his position involuntarily, asking with little confidence: "Wei... General Wei, what happened?"
Wei He put his left hand on the sword at his waist and said directly: "Mr. Huang, don't worry. I'm here to tell you that today, you can lead everyone in the mansion to go out for fun."
What? It’s great, why do you have to go out for a trip? Haven’t you been under house arrest?
Huang Songyuan was puzzled and stunned, and asked, "Why do you want to go out for fun?"
"Mr. Huang doesn't need to ask more questions." Wei He said.
"But this... I don't have the intention to go out for fun." Huang Songyuan said.
"Hmph!" Hearing this, Wei He sneered and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Huang has to agree to this matter, and if he doesn't agree, he has to agree to it, and prepare quickly!"
"But the general..."
What else did Huang Songyuan want to say, but Wei He had already interrupted him directly and said, "This is the end of his words!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Huang Songyuan was a little stunned.
But he had no choice. There were Qin troops inside and outside the government, so how could he do it?
In the afternoon of that day, Huang Songyuan was forced to lead the family out, and not only followed all the servants in the mansion, but also a large number of Qin troops were "protected" around him.
Under such circumstances, Huang Songyuan was worried and visited several places, and finally arrived in the wild.
At this time, the sun was gradually turning west, and there was no pedestrian here.
Looking at the wilderness, Cui Sheng beside him was even more nervous and couldn't help but whisper: "Uncle, this is something wrong."
Without reminding him, Huang Songyuan couldn't see anything. He did not answer Cui Sheng, but came to Wei He and said with a smile: "This, general, there are no scenic spots here, and there are no people. If you encounter bandits
, What should I do? It’s better to go back."
"Hey? Lord Huang is so nervous. If there are really horse bandits, isn't I still there?" Wei He said with a smile.
"But this, but this..." The more he did, the more nervous Huang Songyuan became.
But I was so desperate that I was still alive. At this moment, there were really a bunch of bandits in front of me, all wearing black scarves and holding sharp blades. After meeting, they rushed over without saying a word.
Huang Songyuan's servants, wives and concubines immediately began to scream, and there was a riot in the scene.
He himself shouted again and again: "Oh! General Wei! There are really bandits! There are really bandits!"
"Is that so? Then you go and die!" Wei He sneered, and pushed Huang Songyuan out with a palm, and at the same time raised his right hand and waved it back.
With his actions, a large number of Qin troops who were accompanying the "protective" began to retreat collectively, and there was no intention of regulating Huang Songyuan and others.
There were already screams around him, and Huang Songyuan's confidants began to fall into a pool of blood one after another. Seeing this scene, he fell to the ground, stared at the big eyes, and roared with gritted teeth:
"Xiao Yuan! Traitor! Evil thief-"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a 'bandit's head was cut off!
This chaos did not last long, and Huang Songyuan's accompanying confidants and servants and maids were not left behind.
These bandits were not others, but naturally they were disguised as Liang Yuan and others.
After handling the scene and confirming that there was no one living, Liang Yuan didn't say anything nonsense and took people away directly.
Afterwards, Huang Songyuan went out for a trip and was attacked by bandits. The news of the Qin army's heavy losses came out. Yizhou immediately began to send troops to "suppress the bandits"!
Xiao Yuan also passed on an order, ordering the counties in Shu to completely eliminate the horse bandits.
Liang Yuan did this very well, so Xiao Yuan naturally praised him. The establishment of Yudu Weiying was officially put on the agenda.
Afterwards, after careful consideration, he finally determined the candidates for the county magistrates of the four counties.
Combined with Jiang Yi's political achievements and talents, he was appointed as the governor of Fengyang County.
He appointed Liu Changqing as the governor of Liyang County.
The other two places are served by two other civil officials under Xiao Yuan.
After dealing with these, Xiao Yuan was also preparing to go to Shuzhong in person.
The first place he had to inspect was Longyou.
