When Li Xun arrived in Ta County, because he didn't know what the situation was in Wuzhou and he didn't have many troops, he didn't dare to act rashly and could only stay put for the time being. However, he also did some things within his power.

Send scouts to Wuzhou to inquire about the news and get in touch with Fan Zhongyun and others as soon as possible. At the same time, they send a message to Suzhou to inform them of the situation and request support.

Li Xun did not wait long. One day later, news finally came from Wuzhou.

After reading the letter in his hand, Li Xun looked thoughtful and remained silent for a long time.

"Li Xun, what did the letter say?"

Zheng Chun asked aloud, and two brothers, Yu Yanhui and Yu Zhong, stood aside. They were also very concerned about the situation in Wuzhou.

"See for yourself."

Li Xun handed over the letter, and Zheng Chun quickly took the letter and looked at it carefully. Brother Yu Yanhui also quickly came over to watch.

This letter was written by Fan Zhongyun himself. It mainly wrote three things. The first thing was not about the war, but asked Li Xun to write a battle report immediately and write out the reasons for the incident in full. It was very meaningful.

Simple, put all the responsibilities on Wu Heng and Wang Chengxi. After the civil unrest broke out, the two of them had already fled to Wu'an City. Wu Heng was the first to prepare a letter to the court to take the lead in taking the responsibility.

They were all blamed on Li Xun, but Fan Zhongyun had long been wary of his thoughts and put the two of them under house arrest without any contact with the outside world.

The second thing is about the war. The outbreak point of the civil unrest was in Shenchi County. The scale expanded rapidly. After receiving the news, Fan Zhongyun immediately gathered all the troops in the name of Li Xun, leaving four thousand troops in Youchong headquarters.

Sticking to Wu'an City, with Yuan He and Shan Qiu as the vanguard, they led five thousand troops and rushed straight to Shenchi County. They did not give the mob any time to prepare or a chance to organize themselves. They won a great victory in one battle and killed more than 20,000 people.

The remaining mob rushed to the northernmost Wuzhuo County. Later, Yuan He led the army to pursue the north and formed a confrontation with more than 100,000 mobs. Finally, Zhao Wei led 2,000 troops and stationed in Linxia County, the easternmost part of Wuzhou, cutting off the mob's escape eastward.

The road into Xiazhou.

As far as the overall situation in Wuzhou is concerned, it is coming very violently and quickly, but under Fan Zhongyun's decisive measures, it has been controlled to a certain extent. Although the number of mobs is large, their weapons are crude and their quality is very poor. Yuan He, alone

Qiu's army only has 5,000 troops, which can be dealt with in a short period of time.

At the end of the letter, Fan Zhongyun asked Li Xun to return to Wuzhou immediately. In his absence, if the situation deteriorates and people's hearts fluctuate, they may be in danger of collapsing without a fight.

Regarding this point, Li Xun understood Fan Zhongyun's considerations. He was the governor of Wuzhou. Although he gave Fan Zhongyun the power to act on his behalf when he was absent, this was not a formal appointment and did not have any legal restrictions. Shan Qiu, Zhao Wei and Fan Zhongyun knew each other.

, and also know that they trust and respect them very much, so they will listen to Fan Zhongyun's words when he is no longer there, but people like Yuan He, You Chong, and Gan Tuyuan may not think so. Once the situation

In a critical situation, these people may not obey Fan Zhongyun's orders, so no matter what, Li Xun, as the governor of Wuzhou, does not need to ask whether he can recruit reinforcements or how many troops he can bring back at this stage. His first priority now is to immediately

Rush back to Wu'an City to take charge of the overall situation and stabilize people's hearts.

Zheng Chun and others also finished reading the letter at this time.

"Li Xun, the mob is trapped in Wuzhuo County. The situation is under control. There is no danger in Taxian County for the time being. Let's rush back to Wu'an City as soon as possible."

Yu Yanhui took the opportunity to say: "Captain, I would like to lead troops to accompany you to Wuzhou to help quell the chaos."

Li Xun pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Although the situation is under control, more than 100,000 mobs have gathered in one place, and the military strength has been established. A fierce battle is inevitable. No one knows the victory or defeat. If the situation really comes to an end,

In terms of control, you will become extremely important here, so you can't act rashly."

"That's what the governor said."

Yu Yanhui nodded, with a hint of disappointment on his face. If he could follow Li Xun to Wuzhou, once the chaos was successfully quelled, it would be a great achievement. However, Li Xun was very worried. If the situation in Wuzhou reached an impossible point,

To the point of control, Ta County will become the biggest resistance for the mob to continue to advance eastward.

Later.

Li Xun wrote the memorial and asked Yu Yanhui to send someone back to Fengjing, and sent someone to Suzhou again to find out Wang Renzhi's attitude towards sending troops to rescue Wuzhou.

After doing all this, Li Xun and Zheng Chun led 1,500 soldiers and galloped back towards Wu'an City.

In just a few days, the entire Wuzhou has undergone such a big change.

Along the way, everything was devastated, and scattered corpses could be seen from time to time.

In a village ahead, hundreds of corpses were standing in the wilderness with wooden stakes piercing their bodies from bottom to top. Some women's corpses were scattered around, many of them naked.

In the village, there were waves of shouts of killing. After a while, calm returned again. Hundreds of soldiers detained more than a hundred foreigners and walked out of the village.

"Boss, why do these foreigners kill our own people?"

Looking at this tragic scene, Jiang Daxiong asked in a low voice.

Li Xun shook his head: "Thugs have no humanity to speak of. In their view, as long as they are alive, they are targets for hunting."

Jiang Daxiong sighed: "What's the use of killing innocent people?"

Li Xun pursed his lips and said nothing. This was the first time he had seen such a scene.

"Captain, everything is cleaned inside."

Hou Quan rode up to the scene and handed over his hand to report.

Li Xun looked at the crowd coming from afar and said nothing.

There were more than 100 people, including more than 30 women. The old ones were white and gray, and the youngest ones were only six or seven years old. They were all naked. Some were crying, and some had blank eyes, like walking corpses.

When they came closer, Li Xun looked at the seventy or eighty men, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Hou Quan whispered from the side: "When we rushed in, hundreds of men gathered all the women in the village and forced them..."

There was a cold look on Li Xun's face, and he said coldly: "Don't they like to kill people and then set them up on wooden stakes? Let them have a taste of this."

"Captain, is this right..."

Hou Quan's face was a bit unbearable.

"Execute immediately."

"Yes, Commander, the last general takes orders."

These people were about to die, but few begged for mercy. Instead, they looked at Li Xun and others with ferocious eyes until they were pulled down and executed.

"Li Xun, I'm very surprised. Why don't they ask for a detour? Are they really not afraid of death?"

Zheng Chun said.

"Psychological and spiritual madness, simple means can no longer make them sober."

Li Xun's expression was cold. Before he came back, he had too many ideas and hoped to solve them in the most peaceful way. But now it seems that any persuasion and soft methods will not have much effect, even if he can barely suppress them.

If we go on, we will treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. The emotions of these foreigners are like explosives, and they may explode again one day. Li Xun has now made a decision to use the most severe means to suppress this riot. Since the spirit
