Chapter 213: Stabilizing Shazhou, Beiliang is watching closely

The three major families, the Wang family, the Zhai family, and the Fu family, will be Li Changan's loyal watchdogs in the future.

An official of the Zhai family suddenly shouted, "Huang Boren and the other five clans are secretly communicating with Beimang and intend to murder the King of Tang!"

"These people are so audacious and ruthless. They deserve to be exterminated!"

Li Changan nodded with satisfaction. What the official said was exactly what he wanted.

"Very good, you fought to the death to protect the king, and this stabilized the situation."

"I will recommend the officials here and promote them to a higher level!"

"However... the other five tribes are deeply rooted in Shazhou, and there are still many harmful influences that have not been eliminated."

When the people from the three major families heard Li Changan's words, the officials' eyes turned cold and several family heads felt a chill on their backs.

Just now, people from two tribes died, but it was they who did it!

Li Changan has a strong army and is not afraid of revenge, but the three families are not.

The leaders of the three major families all kowtowed and offered suggestions one by one.

"Your Majesty! Those five clans are extremely evil. We, the Wang, Zhai, and Fu families, cannot coexist with them!"

"We know all the details of these five families, but I don't have enough manpower."

"I beg Your Majesty to allow me to ask the Royal Guards to help us wipe out the remaining evildoers and eradicate all the evil!"

"We will fight to the death to protect King Tang and restore order to Shazhou!"

They are indeed smart people who know how to adapt to changing circumstances.

"In that case, Qingniao, you should send the Jinyiwei to help the three family heads. Act in secret and don't let the news leak out."

Qingniao immediately accepted the order, and the three major families were eager to try it out.

The eight families have become three, which means that their status will rise significantly.

The Jinyiwei took these people and went out under the cover of night.

Li Changan knew that the situation was settled, and he felt much more relaxed. Not only did he quickly cut off the mess in Jinchang City, but he also unexpectedly obtained Xue Songguan.

"Qing'er, it's late at night. Please accompany me back to the palace to rest."

Xue Songguan, who had lost his memory, finally saw the world tonight and was a little frightened at the moment.

But when she felt Li Changan's hand around her waist, she suddenly felt much more at ease.

The prince is an important figure, and what he just did were important things in order to stabilize the situation in Shazhou.

She is just a commoner girl. What do these disputes have to do with her?

Now that I follow the prince, I should have no worries for the rest of my life.

"Your Majesty, be careful. I will help you."

That night, Shazhou was turned upside down. Except for the other five families of Wang Zhaifu, all of them were strangled to death by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Not only Jinchang County, but also the three counties of Shazhou under Huang Boyan's rule were not peaceful.

The Jinyiwei were very observant and investigated all the branches of the five families in the three counties thoroughly.

The cavalry galloped and thoroughly cleansed all three counties.

Li Changan knew that if he had to take action, he should either not take action or cut the roots.

People are all afraid of majesty, and when this fear spreads among a group, it may turn into awe.

People from the three counties of Shazhou, including the refugees from Qingcang County, all secretly admired Li Changan's methods and courage.

Li Changan brought Xue Songguan back to the palace and called Hongshu to accompany them.

Hongshu looked at Xue Songguan, whose eyes were clear, and was obviously shocked.

"Xue Songguan, who hurt you like this?"

"You are a master at the peak of the Xuan realm. There are not many people in the world who can hurt you."

Xue Songguan was leaning in Li Changan's arms with a red face. When he heard Hongshu's words, he immediately sat up.

"Who are you? Do you know me?"

"Do you know anything about my past? I can't seem to remember it."

After asking this question, even Hongshu himself didn't know how to explain it.

She had only met Xue Songguan a few times and knew nothing about his past.

If they hadn't been working together to carry out a fatal mission, they wouldn't even be able to meet.

"I... have only met you a few times. I know your last name is Xue, but I don't know much about your past."

Xue Songguan was a little disappointed and continued to lean on Li Changan's arms.

Everything at the scene was unfamiliar, except Li Changan, who was relatively familiar.

"I vaguely felt that I had lost some memory."

"But that seemed like a long time ago. I really can't remember it."

Li Changan stroked Xue Songguan's waist and said, "Qing'er, if you can't remember, forget it."

"If you lose your memory, you may never remember it again in your life."

"I only know that you are my Qing'er. Even if your enemies come looking for me, I will fend them off for you."

Xue Songguan held Li Changan's hand, her heart beating wildly, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your favor. I am lucky to have met you."

Hongshu stared at Li Changan and Xue Songguan with her beautiful eyes.

The prince was so powerful that he conquered Xue Songguan not long after he went out.

Moreover, the prince knew that Qing'er was Xue Songguan, but he was not afraid of her disguise at all.

Li Changan took Xue Songguan's hand and kissed her gently on the lips.

Xue Songguan trembled all over and felt extremely shy.

Li Changan said, "Qing'er, this sweet potato girl is my concubine."

"She was acquainted with you before, so why not let her leave tonight?"

"She's not as good as you in martial arts, but she's an expert with a sword."

After hearing what Li Changan said, Hongshu felt hot all over for no reason.

She really didn't want to leave. What if Xue Songguan was in disguise and wanted to harm the prince? She wanted a personal guard!

"Yes, Sister Xue, it is fate that you and the prince meet."

"I shouldn't have disturbed you and the prince, but now that your eyes are injured, it's inconvenient. I'll help you."

Xue Songguan was one year older than Hongshu, but he was completely inexperienced and his face was already flushed at this moment.

"You are so bad, my Lord. Do you need someone to teach you this?"

While she was speaking, Li Changan had already gently untied her belt, and everything was done so skillfully.

A crazy night.

Hongshu was finally relieved because Xue Songguan had not made any assassination moves from beginning to end.

She herself couldn't believe that the big devil of Beimang was so gentle and submissive.

From that day on, the Prince Tang's palace had another blind concubine.

Fortunately, Xue Songguan's eye injury did not last long, and the elixir that Li Changan exchanged in the Zhutian Mall cured her eye injury.

When Xue Songguan's beautiful eyes glowed again, she was even more moved.

It turned out that his prince was so handsome and extraordinary. Xue Songguan felt that he was so lucky and had found a good husband with his eyes blindly.

Not long after the situation in Jinchang County stabilized, 50,000 of the 200,000 refugees from Qingcang County actually came directly for refuge!

Among the 200,000 refugees, at least 20,000 can join the army!
Moreover, these people have a deep hatred for Beiliang.

The reason they came to seek refuge was, on the one hand, because Li Changan's methods were clean and efficient, and they saw hope for a stable life.

On the other hand, the highly respected Gui Han army all joined Li Changan, and they also came here because of his reputation.

Beiliang. Han Laoshan was killed, but there were still many spies from Fushuifang in the three counties of Shazhou.

Although Li Changan ordered the Jinyiwei to start the cleanup, the infiltration of intelligence agencies was the most difficult to eliminate.

When Xu Xiao got the news, he was somewhat shocked.

"Is Li Changan crazy?!"

"He directly killed the governor sent by the imperial court! Is this a rebellion?"

Li Yishan replied, "He will definitely report to the court, saying that Huang Boren is planning to assassinate him."

"Shazhou is far away from the emperor, and with the testimonies of those big families, the court can't find any fault."

"More importantly, His Majesty the Emperor hopes that Li Changan will become a big player in Shazhou."

"This Li Changan, although young, is very ruthless and has killed many people in Shazhou!"

Xu Xiao frowned and said, "Fushuifang said that Laoshan went to Jingu Garden and never came back. Could it be that he was also killed by Li Changan?"

Han Laoshan and Fushuifang act separately, and as Xu Xiao's bodyguard, he does not need to be responsible for Fushuifang.

Therefore, Fushuifang also did not know the exact whereabouts of Han Laoshan.

Although Han Laoshan is not the strongest master in Beiliang, he is also one of the top ten strong men.

If such a loss really happened, Xu Xiao would be really heartbroken.

Li Yishan said, "If Laoshan goes to instigate Huang Boren to hinder Li Changan, we have no hope of success."

"It seems that no matter how the imperial court reacts, Li Changan must be eliminated!"

Xu Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "There are 50,000 cavalrymen over at Jiayu Pass!"

At this time, Li Yishan stroked his beard and said, "Not enough!"

Xu Xiao continued, "That's right. Li Changan is our biggest concern now. We must not let him gain a foothold in Shazhou."

"I will send a message to Chen Zhibao, Yuan Zuozong, and Yan Wenluan to immediately dispatch troops to wipe out the border tribes."

"In this case, we must ensure that we have 100,000 soldiers ready at all times. Add in the Great Snow Dragon Riders and one of the Iron Pagodas, and we should be able to crush Li Changan."

Although Beiliang has a large number of soldiers, most of them are stationed at the border, and the movement of troops is also closely monitored by Beimang.

Li Yishan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, we can no longer underestimate Li Changan."

Xu Xiao clenched his fists and said firmly, "When the three-year period is up and the Year of the Phoenix returns, I will flatten Shazhou with my own hands!"

Emperor Wu City.

Wang Xianzhi, the second most powerful person in the world, excitedly came to the training ground where his disciples were practicing martial arts.

"Gong Banque, your master has figured out a method of Qi circulation, which will definitely help to resolve Li Changan's Tantric karma!"

"A young boy who is only 20 years old actually dares to give me a difficult problem."

Wang Xianzhi looked around but found no trace of Gong Banque.

The eldest disciple and the groom ran out, "Master! The second disciple ran away, saying he was going to the northwest."

Wang Xianzhi tried several methods but failed to solve the problem. Gong Banque no longer believed that Wang Xianzhi could solve the problem.

Upon hearing what Yu Xinlang said, Wang Xianzhi couldn't help but get furious.

"This brat actually doesn't believe in the Master!"

He said to the groom, "Go to Shazhou and bring Gong Banque back!"

Yu Xinlang said, "Master, I may not be able to beat him."

Wang Xianzhi frowned and said angrily, "Then you should be hit by the tantric karma once, and then come back and let me solve it!"

"You don't want your master to admit that Li Changan is the best in the world, do you?"

……

The situation in Jinchang County was completely stabilized after a few days.

Li Changan arranged for Su Su, Zhao Dingxiu and others to replace all the officials who were killed.

The positions vacated by the people of the four tribes who were killed can only be filled by the descendants of the four existing tribes.

However, these four tribes are now very obedient and well-behaved, and can stabilize the operation of the Governor's Office.

Li Changan didn't even wait for the imperial edict and directly appointed Zhuge Liang as the governor of Shazhou!
According to Zhuge Liang's ability, with this state, he would be able to defeat Northern Liang in a few years.

But Li Changan has a system, which can compress this time several times.

The industries vacated by the five major families, such as restaurants, shops, and trade, have been taken over by the current big families.

Li Changan took over the lifelines such as ore, salt, iron, and casting, even if they were in the hands of the three existing clans, and brought them all into the palace.

Kuitun County is mainly based on trade, so there are basically no major disturbances.

There has been a big fluctuation among the 200,000 refugees in Qingcang County, and many of them are interested in seeking refuge.

But they still didn't dare to conclude what kind of person Li Changan was.

Because before, the Beiliang Army was nominally part of the Liyang court, but they used refugees to train soldiers and raise poisonous insects, causing heavy casualties among the refugees but not to exterminate them.

Therefore, the 200,000 refugees hated the Northern Liang Army to the core.

Children can be seen playing football everywhere in Qingcang County, and the balls under their feet are the heads of the Beiliang Army.

Because of Zhang Yichao's influence, 50,000 refugees fled to Jinchang County with their families.

Inside the palace lobby, everyone was discussing follow-up developments.

Zhang Yichao was very confident about the refugees' surrender. "Your Majesty, the 50,000 refugees who came to surrender should all be sincere in their hearts."

"When I was managing Shazhou more than a decade ago, they were all obedient subjects under my rule!"

"Later, the Guiyi Army was driven out of the three counties, and I was no longer able to take care of them, so I let them become refugees."

"The more difficult problem now is that these 50,000 refugees have nowhere to go, and they are also short of food in the short term."

After hearing what Zhang Yichao said, Li Changan was not worried. "General Zhang, don't worry. We can not only resettle 50,000 refugees, but also the remaining 150,000!"

"We came from Yongzhou to Shazhou and seized a lot of money and food along the way, which can support these refugees in the short term."

"We have already taken back Yumen County. I plan to take it over soon and settle these refugees in Yumen County."

Zhang Yichao said worriedly, "Your Majesty, the barbarians are fickle. Will the Six-Pearl Dharma King really fulfill his promise?"

Li Changan said with a smile, "General Zhang, rest assured, the Six-Pearl Dharma King must fulfill his promise!"

"I have already written to her. I believe she will be in Shazhou soon. We will know the result then."

Zhang Yizhao knew that once Li Changan made a decision, he would not change it easily and he had never made a mistake, so he took the order and stood aside.

Li Changan continued, "Regarding the development in Shazhou, Kong Ming, what do you plan to do?"

Li Changan and Zhuge Liang had discussed this matter many times along the way.

Now that Zhuge Liang has said it, it is equivalent to an official announcement.

Zhuge Liang spoke eloquently, "Your Majesty, my colleagues, the three counties of Shazhou can be smoothly handed over today."

"After the three counties are stabilized, we will take over Yumen County from Baiyi Guanyin and move some of the refugees into it."

"The young and strong among the refugees can be recruited into the army, which can greatly increase the strength of our army."

"After that, we will send troops to attack Gantai County. With Shanshan's current strength, we should be unable to stop them."

"After completing the above two steps, Shazhou will have five counties and about 100,000 soldiers and horses."

After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Gu Dazu, Li Cunxiao and Lu Xu all believed it without a doubt, because they had witnessed Li Changan's development along the way.

Afterwards, Li Changan issued an order.

"Li Cunxiao, Lu Xu, I order you two to lead the Black Armor Army and the White Horse Volunteers, a total of 7,000 people, to take over Yumen County."

"Zhang Yichao, I order you to continue training the Guiyi Army and prepare to destroy Shanshan!"

"Gu Dazu reorganizes the soldiers of Shazhou Prefecture and selects those who can fight!"

"Zhuge Liang, take over all government affairs in Shazhou and raise food, fodder and military equipment!"
