    At this moment, in a Xichuan official's mansion, the lights were dancing wildly, and the officials were getting dressed in their bedrooms, preparing to go out for a visit.  Suddenly, a dark shadow passed in front of the door. As the official was walking out of the door, he saw a flying light in front of him. When he opened his eyes hastily, the flying knife had already stabbed him between the eyebrows.  Before the official could scream, he fell to the ground dead.  At the same time, another dark shadow fell down, took the flying knife from the official's brow, and left quickly.  When people from his house arrived, they saw the master lying in a pool of blood. They were so frightened that they shouted.  At that time, there was chaos in this place, and exclamations came from several places not far away, and soon spread to all parts of the city.  It turned out that in just one moment, more than a dozen Nishikawa civil and military officials were assassinated.  The school grounds in the city were in a mess with torches, and people were shouting and rushing away from everywhere.  Fastest update, all text typed by hand

    Suddenly, dozens of black shadows sneaked into various camps on the school grounds, setting fires everywhere. Then, taking advantage of the chaos, they took a group of soldiers and left quickly.  As for Zhang Fei's home, it was crowded with people at this time, and soldiers and horses from various ministries came to gather.  But Zhang Fei rushed to the stable with murderous intent, but saw no one. He shouted several times, but no one responded.  After a while, panic and shouts arose from all over the city. Zhang Fei stared, knowing that he had fallen into the trap. When he was about to drive out, the door of his home was blocked by soldiers and horses swarming in.  Zhang Fei hurriedly asked people to disperse, but soon most of the people who came from the school field arrived again, and the scene suddenly became more chaotic.

    After a while, there was a sudden fire in the city, and it turned out that the direction was the location of the school field.  Zhang Fei was very anxious when he saw this and asked people to put out the fire.  At this time, Fei Yuan's men had already put on their armor and secretly sneaked into the rebel army. They scattered their troops and rushed to the city gate, waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and leave.  Read the latest chapter

    At this time, the soldiers of the four gates in Chengdu were in chaos. When they heard that there was a fire in the military camp in the school field, the guards of each gate rushed to put out the fire.  At this moment, the flying kites lurking in the four gates attacked one after another and went to seize the gate.  The situation was chaotic at that time. Soldiers from all sects saw that Fei Yuan's men were all wearing military armor and were defenseless. When they saw Fei Yuan seize the door, they all reacted and hurried to stop him.  However, the people in Feiyuan all have good martial arts skills, so they all managed to escape and rush outside the city.  The four guards immediately sent troops to pursue him.  Unexpectedly, Feiyuan's men and horses moved quickly and quickly sneaked into the surrounding mountains and forests and disappeared without a trace.

    By dawn the next day, the fire was out.  The city was still in chaos. Liu Bei was furious when he heard that nearly a dozen Xichuan civil and military officials had been assassinated last night.  Soon after, I heard that the guards of the four gates came to report that at the fifth watch last night, dozens of men and horses each took advantage of the chaos and fled out of the city.  Liu Bei immediately guessed that they must be those assassinating madmen. Seeing that his imperial capital was in vain, he became even more furious.  The four current guards were all severely punished by Liu Bei.  Later, Zhang Fei entered the palace and reported what happened last night.  At this time, Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and others also arrived one after another.  Like Zhuge Liang, Fazheng and other important ministers, the mansion was heavily guarded, so Feiyuan did not attack last night.  Liu Bei learned that Zhang Fei had fallen into a conspiracy and scolded Zhang Fei for his lack of plans.  When Zhuge Liang heard this, his face hardened and he persuaded Liu Bei.

    "Your Majesty, please calm down. These assassination madmen are not only extremely skilled and proficient in assassination, but they also know strategies and act vigorously and resolutely. What is even more frightening is that these madmen only pick at lax areas and act according to their ability.  , but if you do something, you can kill it with one strike, rigorous and orderly. Ruoliang's prediction is correct. These people must have been trained since they were young to have such abilities.  If you don't realize how powerful these people are, it's no wonder that Yide fell into the trap."

    Hearing this, Liu Bei suppressed his anger and asked Zhuge Liang.

    "These madmen are so rampant that they are now all over Xichuan. Officials from all over the country are in trouble day and night. In addition, these madmen are extremely cunning. Does the military advisor have any strategies to deal with them?"

    Zhuge Liang's bright eyes flashed, and after pondering for a while, he spoke to Liu Bei.

    "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. You can now send an order to all counties in Xichuan and order the officials of each county to close the city gates tightly and inspect the intruders inside and outside the city day and night, and then strictly guard them."

    "Such an elite force is really difficult to guard against. I wonder if the military advisor has a way to know where they belong?"

    "As long as the king follows what Zhao Zhaozhi said. In this case, there will be fish that slip through the net. When the time comes, you can carefully observe it."

    Liu Bei heard what Zhuge Liang said, and after discussing it with Zhuge Liang, he made adjustments according to what he said.  Five or six days later, as Zhuge Liang said, there were still many Feiyuan people in various parts of Xichuan who were unable to retreat. However, without exception, when they were about to be captured, they either fought to the death or drew their swords to kill themselves.  .  Several Nishikawa soldiers were killed by Fei Yuan during their arrest.  Zhuge Liang heard the reports from various county officials and found that these people were all good at flying knives.  Several soldiers also pointed out that this knife-throwing skill was particularly similar to that of the current Tang Dynasty king Wen Bufan.  Therefore, Zhuge Liang secretly realized that these murderous gangsters must be related to the Western Tang Dynasty.

    Since the assassination that night in Chengdu, the flying kites lurking in various places in Xichuan have withdrawn one after another and rushed back to Chang'an to return to Xu Huang.  This time the assassination was carried out,There were more than 1,000 ?, B, and C-level flying kites, and 68 people were killed.  A total of fifty or sixty people were assassinated in Xichuan, large and small officials.  Xu Huang's face turned slightly dark when he heard that Fei Yuan had nearly a hundred casualties.  It can be seen that Wenhan spent nearly ten years to build these flying kites. Each of them is a dead soldier who is unique in the art of assassination.  Three thousand flying kites, one of which died less than ten years ago, is difficult to replenish.  Now, with so many casualties, Xu Huang couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

    That night, Xu Huang came to the palace to see Wenhan and report Feiyuan's actions in Xichuan.  Wen Han's face darkened when he heard that nearly a hundred flying kites had died.  At this time, soldiers from Xiliang and Bingzhou reported that the two tribes of Hu people, Xiqiang and Beiqiang, came one after another.  There are more than 20,000 barbarians in Xiliang who have made trouble and now occupy Jincheng.  In Bingzhou, the thieves were even more powerful. Thirty to forty thousand Hu people rebelled and occupied Shuofang.  Wenhan's expression suddenly changed after hearing the report, and he asked urgently about what happened before.

    It turns out that in order to conquer the Hu people, Wenhan not only prohibited the Hu people from speaking the Hu language, but also banned all the Hu people's etiquette. He also ordered the Hu people to learn Han etiquette and only speak Chinese.  In order to survive, the barbarians cannot resist.  After that, Wenhan drove all the Hu people into slaves. They had to farm for three years and repair the city for two years before they could be exempted from slave status and enjoy the treatment of Han people.  Among them, eighty-two percent have been cultivated.  The government gets eight, and the barbarians get two.  As for repairing the city, all the barbarians can receive food and salary. Although it is meager, it can still make a living.  Although the policies formulated by Wen Han were overbearing, they did not push the Hu people into despair.  After all, as long as they survive five years of slavery, they can be treated like the Han people.  A few years ago, Tang officials enforced the law impartially, so everything was peaceful.  Later, because Wenhan had been fighting abroad for many years, his jurisdiction over Bingzhou and Xiliang was somewhat relaxed.  Therefore, many officials had evil intentions and took advantage of their positions to secretly make money. The Hu people devoured almost all the income they earned from farming.  The food and salary for repairing the city were also divided among the officials.  What's more, some officials extended the period of slavery for the Hu people.  The Hu people could not bear the pressure and ran away several times. Most of them were caught and severely tortured. Most of them were beaten to death and their bodies were thrown into the wild.  Those who escaped heard that Bingzhou Mu Gao Shun was a loyal man and wanted to go to Taiyuan to expose him, but they were all arrested along the way.  Even if someone rushed to Taiyuan and the officials were guarding each other, the Hu people were secretly dealt with before they saw Gao Shun.  The so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.  Officials were greedy in amassing money, and the soldiers under their command were also indulgent. They often raped Hu women and took their property by force.

    It can be said that the barbarians in Western Qiang and Northern Qiang are calling the sky and the earth incompetent.  Finally, they had no choice but to rebel.  In one month, the Xiqiang Hu people occupied Jincheng and killed all the officials in the city. The Hu people from all over Xiliang gathered in Jincheng one after another. There were 20,000 Xiqiang thieves.  In the land of Beiqiang, in the cities of Shuofang, within half a month, the Beiqiang and Hu people rebelled one after another and killed all the officials of Shuofang County.  There are nearly 30,000 to 40,000 thieves.  When Gao Shun learned that the Hu people were rebelling, he thought that the Hu people would not change their traitorous nature, so he immediately wanted to raise troops to suppress it. At that time, Wang Lang happened to be preparing supplies in Bingzhou.  After Wang Lang learned about this, he first taught Gao Shun to investigate the matter thoroughly.  Gao Shun always respected Wang Lang, so he obeyed his words and ordered Wang Lang to investigate thoroughly.  Wang Lang has always been tough in his conduct, enforcing the law impartially and selflessly.  Soon the cause of the Hu people's rebellion was discovered, and nearly a hundred officials were implicated. Most of them were descendants of the northwest aristocratic families, and many of them were the descendants and relatives of Wen Han's important officials.  There are actually three people in high positions, prefect or above, and among them Gao Shun's second son Gao Feng is even involved!

    Gao Shun was furious and immediately sent people to arrest the offending officials. His son Gao Feng was imprisoned by Gao Shun himself.  Gao Shunsui sent 10,000 elite troops to Shuofang. At the same time, he also sent people to report to Wen Han and explain what had happened. More than a hundred officials, big and small, were waiting for Wen Han's fate.  As for Xiliang, Li You also arrested dozens of offending officials one by one, and first sent 3,000 troops to Jincheng to negotiate with the Hu people.

    When Wenhan heard what happened, his face changed drastically, he became furious and roared angrily.

    "These corrupt officials dare to exploit the people for their wealth and wealth. What's more, they lust after women and take other people's property. How are they any different from animals!!"

    When Xu Huang heard this, he quickly persuaded Wenhan, fearing that Wenhan would be angry and want to kill all the offending officials.

    "Your Majesty, please calm down. Not long after the founding of our country in the Western Tang Dynasty, many of these offending officials are descendants of the great king's important ministers. If all of them are punished, the internal situation of our Western Tang Dynasty will be unstable. It is better to be lenient and punished in proportion. This is the case.  Once this happens, the officials in the court will be grateful to the king for his kindness, and after this incident, they will also strictly discipline his descendants and clan members. "

    When Wenhan heard this, he glared and shouted coldly.

    "How can such beasts be tolerated? It would be a great kindness if I didn't hold the officials responsible for their inability to discipline me!!"

    After Wen Han finished drinking, he issued an order that anyone involved in corruption or bribery would be punished in accordance with the law. If anyone was found guilty of covering up, he would be punished in addition!  After Wenhan finished compiling the book, he sent envoys from Xiliang and Bingzhou to recover their lives.  Xu Huang was very worried when he saw that Wenhan refused to listen.
