    To be precise, the governor of Yangzhou should be called the "History of the Governor of Yangzhou" because Yangzhou was a governor-general, and the position of governor was originally held by Chen Wang Li Zhongyao, which was not pragmatic.  Now that Li Zhong has been established as the crown prince, it is even more impossible to go to Yangzhou.  Therefore, the governor of Yangzhou is the highest local official in Yangzhou, and he also has the responsibility of the governor. His authority is no less than that of the governor of a higher-level state capital.

    Fang Renyu is the history of Yangzhou.  He and Fang Xuanling are distant brothers. He was originally a subordinate of Wang Shichong, but later joined the Tang Dynasty and was reused by Li Shimin. He was a veteran general.

    When Yang Yue left the capital, Li Zhi had already sent an edict to the provincial governors of Huainan and Jiangnan to listen to Yang Yue's instructions.  Fang Renyu had already thought that Yang Yue would go to Yangzhou to mobilize troops, so he had already made preparations.  When he heard that Yang Yue had arrived in Yangzhou, he didn't waste a moment. He gathered his troops and personally led the troops with Yang Yue to Jiangnan Road to fight against the thieves.

    After leaving the city and heading south to Guazhou Ferry, Feng Wenzhan returned to the team.  From a distance, he saw a figure at the ferry, standing motionless by the water. Yang Yue knew that it was probably Li Min, the king of Shu, but had no idea, and led his troops straight to Muzhou without stopping.

    As soon as they entered Jiangnan Road, they received a battle report. They learned that Wu King Li Ke and Dongtian King were victorious after their troops launched their troops. They had led troops to capture Shezhou, and the bandit general Zhang Shuyin had fled back to Muzhou.  Although Yang Yue knew that King Dongtian was the protector of the Maitreya Sect in the south of the Yangtze River, and must be familiar with the affairs of the sect and the madness medicine, he did not expect that he would succeed immediately after he started teaching, and he was overjoyed.

    When we arrived in Huzhou, we learned that Tong Wenbao, the bandit general who originally besieged Maozhou, had no intention of fighting after hearing the news of Shezhou's defeat, and retreated to Muzhou to defend it. The siege of Maozhou was actually resolved without a fight.

    Yang Yue didn¡¯t expect that the thieves would be so easy to do, and instead felt a little puzzled.  On the one hand, he ordered Cui Yixuan, the governor of Maozhou, and Wu Wang Li Ke to march to Muzhou. On the other hand, he ordered all the soldiers and horses not to advance rashly. When she arrived at Muzhou, they would attack the city together.

    Good news came frequently and morale was greatly shaken.

    At dusk on the fourth day, Yang Yue led his troops to Muzhou. Li Ke and Cui Yixuan had gathered under the city and surrounded Muzhou City.

    After meeting Li Ke and others, they learned that the battle in Shezhou was all due to the East Heavenly King.  It turned out that the thief general Zhang Shuyin took advantage of Li Ke and others who had just arrived at Shezhou City and had not yet established a stable foothold, so they robbed the camp that night.  Don't want King Dongtian to use fire attack, so he ambush the tung oil fire in advance, lure the demon soldiers into the barracks, and set fire to it at night. Although the demon soldiers can't get in with their swords, they are no match for the fire.  Seeing that the situation was bad, Zhang Shuyin ran away alone

    After hearing this, the generals were suddenly relieved. It turned out that the demon soldiers were afraid of fire attacks.  Now that the opponent's weakness has been found, there is no need to be afraid anymore, the small Muzhou City is just around the corner.  Everyone was overjoyed and praised Dongtian King.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? But the King of the East Heaven has been depressed, without any trace of joy, instead he is frowning, and his mood is extremely low.  Yang Yue couldn't help but wonder secretly when she saw it.  After all the generals have withdrawn, King Dongtian is left alone to inquire carefully.

    The king of Dongtian suddenly bowed his head and said: "I ask the princess to punish you."

    "Condemned?" Yang Yue was surprised.

    "In the battle of Shezhou, there were heavy casualties. It was memy fault." Tears suddenly flashed in Dongtianzhu's eyes.

    "Didn't King Wu just say that he didn't lose a single soldier, so why were there so many casualties" Yang Yue was surprised. Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped and suddenly understood.

    Although the officers and soldiers were not injured, the thieves suffered heavy casualties.  However, although the "thieves" followed the "disciples of Ananda" in rebellion, they were ultimately members of the Maitreya sect.  As the protector of Maitreya, King Dongtian had his followers die at his own hands. No wonder he felt extremely sad.

    "Zhang Shuyinasi ignored the believers and escaped on his own. The believers lost their leading general, and under the influence of the crazy drug, they didn't know how to escape, but they burned alive, more than ten thousand people" The corners of Dongtian King's mouth twitched for a moment, and his voice had already stopped.  Somewhat hoarsely, he said in a deep voice, "This is really the fault of my subordinates. Please forgive me, Princess."

    With over 10,000 casualties, Yang Yue could not help but gasp.  In the Battle of Liaodong that year, more than 2,000 people were killed, and Li Shimin was heartbroken.  The small city of Shezhou had over 10,000 casualties, which was truly shocking.  It seems that King Dongtian did not expect that a fire could have such an effect, and he saw the tragic death of his followers with his own eyes, so one can imagine the guilt in his heart.

    Yang Yue took Dongtian Wang to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, but he did not expect to face this problem.  Yang Yue didn't have a good impression of Maitreya Cult at first, but when he saw King Dongtian looking downcast, he couldn't help but feel sad.  She secretly thought that although she did not succeed the Maitreya Sect saint in the south of the Yangtze River, she was named the princess of the Sui Kingdom because of King Zhao Yang Gao. King Zhao died for her that day, but now she is killing the Maitreya Sect. If King Zhao finds out  I don¡¯t know what to think.

    However, Yang Yue came to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion, so this situation was inevitable.  After being stunned for a moment, Yang Yue warmly advised: "Don't blame Dongtian Wang for this matter. They immediately followed the female thief to rebel, and the casualties are understandable. If they want to put down the rebellion, there will be more casualties. If Dongtian Wang is too emotional, it may not work.  It doesn¡¯t help.¡±

    "However" King Dongtian hesitated for a moment, and knew that what Yang Yue said was right. In war, you will die or I will live. If you want to quell the rebellion, you can'tIt was so soft, but how could he let it go in his heart, thinking of the miserable howls of the believers in the fire After a while, King Dongtian came back to his senses and murmured, "If you can fight without bloodshed"

    "Of course it would be better if we could fight without losing blood. I'm afraid it's not as simple as imagined." Yang Yue shook his head and explained to King Dongtian, "It's just that Zhang Shuyinnas is really hateful. I heard that he was made a servant by Chen Shuozhen. It's Chen Shuozhen who  My brother-in-law is an important figure in the banditry, but he is not a good general. He actually ran away from the battle, abandoned the followers, and ended up in such a miserable state. When this man is caught, he will be cut into pieces and be used as a memorial to the followers.  revenge."

    King Dongtian also knew that things could not be both balanced, so he was stunned for a moment and left the account sadly.

    A night of silence.  Unexpectedly, early on the next day, all the generals went to Yang Yue's tent to do some counting, but the King of the East Heaven was nowhere to be seen.  Someone was sent to see him, but the report came back: King Dongtian was drunk last night and had just been forced to wake up by the soldiers, but he refused to come to the tent to obey orders.

    The generals were dumbfounded.  Only Yang Yue knew that King Dongtian must be in trouble and would not come to help him again.  Feeling lonely, he could only shake his head and said, "Let him go. He is not an officer and soldier, so there is no need to force him."

    However, Yang Yue couldn't help but think about Dongtian Wang's depression.  Seeing that the generals were gearing up, Yang Yue pondered for a moment and did not immediately order an attack on the city.  Only soldiers were sent to take turns shouting to the city, hoping to persuade "Ananda's disciples" to surrender.

    I don¡¯t want to shout for a day, but there is still no movement in the city.  The generals were already impatient and asked for battle one after another, but Yang Yue just smiled and did not answer.  On the second day, the soldiers were still ordered to take turns to shout to the city. For three days, there was still no movement at the top of the city.

    In the evening, Yang Yue summoned the generals for a meeting.  Before Yang Yue could speak, the camp had already exploded in the tent, and everyone shouted: "Are we here to quell the rebellion, or are we here to persuade you to surrender? What do you call a war if you shout like this every day?"

    "Muzhou City is so small that only a team of soldiers and horses can defeat it. Why should the princess be so polite to them!"

    "If we attack the city like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to attack it until next year."

    "The princess is truly a woman."

    ¡­¡­

    For a moment, my heart was agitated and I was extremely depressed.  In addition to King Li Ke of Wu and Governor Shi Fang Renyu of Yang, even Cui Yixuan, the governor of Minzhou, could not hold himself back and said: "The princess is kind, but it's a pity that the thieves don't know how to commend her. I'm afraid it's impossible to persuade her to surrender."

    Yang Yue just smiled and listened to everyone's words without getting angry. When the generals' voices gradually faded, he suddenly shouted: "Okay! Let's attack the city together tonight."

    The generals were overjoyed when they heard this and couldn't help but cheer in unison.  Yang Yue then organized the siege plan.  The governor of Yangzhou, Shi Fang Renyu, the governor of Chengsan, Li Ke, and the governor of Mozhou, Cui Yixuan, were ordered to lead 2,000 men each to attack the west, east, and south gates respectively.  He led five thousand soldiers to guard the north gate alone.

    The generals took the order, but Yang Yue ordered the generals not to rush into the city, but to release "rockets" outside the city first.  The generals were puzzled, but it was hard to disobey the commander's order. Moreover, the bandits were afraid of fire attacks, so setting fire outside the city was just the right thing to do.  At that moment, according to Yang Yue's instructions, he brought rockets, bows and crossbows, destroyed carts, slide poles and other objects, and only fired arrows at the city outside the city gate.

    Muzhou City is just a small city, with a radius of only ten miles, which means it is only about two or three miles in diameter.  It is not much larger than Daxing Palace in Chang'an City.  Strong bows and powerful crossbows fired a burst of "rockets" indiscriminately, and soon the city was ablaze with fire and chaos.  The shouts outside the east, south and west gates were loud.

    There was no movement at the north gate where Yang Yue was, and the five thousand soldiers were silent, neither firing arrows nor attacking.  He only ordered everyone to set up traps, cabinets, caltrops, trip wires, etc. The guards couldn't help but wonder when they saw it.

    Seeing that the fire at the east, south and west gates was getting higher and higher, and the sound of killing was loud, they began to attack the city.  Xue Rengui couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Princess, should we also fight into the city? I will open the way now."

    Yang Yue just shook his head and said: "Don't worry, there will be a good show later, and you will be busy."

    Before he finished speaking, he saw the north gate suddenly open, and groups of people rushed out.  However, before they could get very far, they all fell to the ground, either falling into a trap or being knocked down by trip wires.  Although the demon soldiers have the art of being invulnerable with swords, their movements are stiff and they cannot move well. Once they stumble, they cannot get up.  The predecessors fell, and the descendants followed. Before long, demon corpses fell to the ground outside the north city gate.

    Xue Rengui was overjoyed. He looked at Feng Wenzhan and waited until Yang Yue gave the order to set people on fire.  Unexpectedly, Yang Yue just shook his head, ordered someone to light a torch, took out the "Dayun Wuxiang Sutra" from his arms, chanted it loudly, and when the Sanskrit sound passed by, the "zombie" everywhere turned into "noodles"

    Xue Rengui ordered the soldiers to only capture people, and in a short time, tens of thousands of thieves were captured.  Only then did all the soldiers understand Yang Yue's true intention, and they couldn't help but cheer loudly, saying that it was great.

    King Weidong burst into tears and murmured: A weapon cannot be used without blood, a weapon cannot be used without blood

    It is naturally impossible to achieve a true victory without bloodshed.  However, Yang Yue did win at the minimum cost.?Muzhou City.  Not only were there very few casualties among officers and soldiers, but also very few soldiers died.  After a siege, no officer or soldier was killed, and only a dozen people were injured.  There were over 10,000 injured soldiers, but only a few dozen people were actually killed. It was truly a rare war scene.
