Become a feudal king from today

Shanggu City, in front of the government office.

Liu Fu paced back and forth, with a look of anxiety on his face.

At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves, and a group of silver-armored cavalry appeared in his field of vision.

Seeing this, he hurriedly took a few steps forward. When the cavalry dismounted, he hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

"The wealthy ambush was defeated, and all the remaining soldiers fled to Gaojiawu Fort. Your Highness ordered your Excellency to immediately take over the inside and outside of Shanggu City and control the Shanggu County soldiers. Your Highness will arrive soon." The cavalry said loudly.

"Hahaha, great." Liu Fu was overjoyed.

He turned to Qin Shan and said, "Captain Qin, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang." Qin Shan clasped his fists. Since taking over Shanggu County, he has led five thousand people to station here.

Turning around, he headed to the camp to mobilize troops.

At this time, a cavalryman came in a hurry and dismounted. The cavalryman said: "Lord Captain, the county soldiers have escaped!"

"Run away? Where did you run away?" Qin Shan and Liu Fu were both startled.

"Run along the official road to the north!" The cavalryman pointed to the north.

Qin Shan and Liu Fu looked at each other, that was the direction of Gaojiawu Fort.

"Gao Yuanding learned the news of the defeat and gathered his troops to try to rely on Wubao to resist." Liu Fu said.

Qin Shan snorted angrily, "General, I will lead the troops to surround Gaojiawu Fort now, and we will deal with it after His Highness arrives."

Liu Fu nodded.

…

Gaojiawu Fort.

A group of wealthy officials surrounded the plateau.

After the initial panic, he immediately asked each family to transfer the remaining private soldiers to their own forts.

Shanggu County.

Gaojiawu Fort has the largest area and the highest and thickest city wall. It is like a small city.

As long as there are enough soldiers in Wubao, he believes that unless the food and grass in Wubao are exhausted, King Yan's soldiers and horses will never be able to break through the city.

"Don't panic, everyone. I have sent people to Fan Yang. Master Yuan will definitely protect our lives."

Although Wubao now has enough food, grass, people and horses, the officials all have worried looks on their faces.

Worried that people were confused, he brought out Yuan Li to comfort him.

"Yes, Master Yuan is still here, how can we let King Yan do whatever he wants."

"The Yuan family has 200,000 troops. As long as Mr. Yuan sends troops to rescue us, there is nothing the King of Yan can do."

"..."

After hearing this, the wealthy officials comforted each other, but some of them frowned.

Just at this moment, someone shouted again: "The county soldiers are coming."

The officials from the plateau and wealthy families felt excited.

Three thousand county soldiers and private soldiers in Wubao combined, nearly 20,000 people.

Wubao is temporarily safe.

Less than half an hour after the county soldiers arrived, the soldiers on the lookout on the Wubao shouted again: "The army of King Yan is coming, the army of King Yan is coming."

Gao Yuan and his eldest son Gao Man immediately climbed onto the wall of Wubao.

I saw flags fluttering on the road leading to Gaojiawu Fort, and the word "Yan" on the flag was particularly eye-catching.

Under the flag, soldiers of King Yan wearing silver armor were coming towards Wubao.

However, this group of soldiers seemed to have no intention of attacking the city.

They have occupied the main road outside Wubao and surrounded Wubao from four directions.

"This is a soldier from Shanggu City." Gao Yuan's eyes narrowed.

The news of their failed ambush on King Yan may have reached Liu Fu's ears.

Gao Yuan felt agitated in his heart.

Now he can only pin all his hopes on Yuan Li.

…

evening.

Zhao Xu arrived at Shanggu City under the escort of the palace soldiers.

As soon as he entered the city, he was stunned.

I saw that the streets of Shanggu City were full of people. These people seemed to be celebrating the New Year, with smiles on their faces and beaming with joy.

"His Royal Highness King Yan is here, please get out of the way."

Lu Chang, who was at the front of the team, said to the people on the blocked road.

These words were like pebbles dropped into water, causing countless splashes immediately.

The people automatically retreated to both sides of the road, and then knelt down one by one.

"His Royal Highness, King Yan, is a thousand years old. Thanking His Highness for saving me is like fire or water."

"His Royal Highness, King Yan, is a thousand years old. Thanking His Highness for saving me is like fire or water."

"..."

The people kept chanting sentence after sentence.

After Shanggu County was assigned to King Yan as a fiefdom, they suddenly felt that their lives were finally heading towards a bright future.

And when the wealthy families handed over the occupied land, they felt that the sky in Shanggu County seemed to be clear.

Unexpectedly, the wealthy families immediately fought back.

They secretly instigated idlers, lazy people and evil slaves to come to people's homes to threaten and intimidate them.

The land they had just acquired was taken away from them before it had even warmed up.

At this time, Shanggu County returned to darkness.

But I didn't expect that it would be today.

Prince Liu Fu suddenly sent soldiers to arrest wealthy officials and their minions everywhere in the city.

Later, they learned that King Yan's army had defeated the rebellion of the wealthy clans, and now wanted to wipe out all the wealthy clans in Shanggu.

After that, Shanggu County will be like Yan County, where everyone has land to farm and a promising life.

So they took to the streets because they couldn't express their joy at seeing the light of day again.

Now, when they saw King Yan, they couldn't control themselves even more.

They had nothing but to kneel down and kowtow to King Yan to express their gratitude.

When the palace soldiers saw this scene, their fatigue seemed to disappear instantly.

Their sacrifice of life to fight was valuable. They liberated the people of Shanggu County from the vicious wealthy families in Shanggu.

And this is what King Yan said, the meaning of fighting - within the king's territory, every common person has a field, is well fed, clothed warmly, and will live a more prosperous life in the future.

"Everyone, please get up." Zhao Xu looked moved by the roaring mountains and tsunami in front of him.

He got off his horse and helped the people up personally.

The people who stood up all had tears in their eyes. An old man said: "Your Highness, can we in Shanggu County live a life where everyone in Yan County has land and is no longer enslaved by the rich?"

"Yes!" Zhao Xu said decisively: "From now on, everyone will have a field, and you no longer need to worry about the land being taken away by others. This is my promise to you."

King Yan said this, and the people around him became more and more excited.

Everyone danced happily, like children who got candy.

Along the road, Zhao Xu continued to walk forward, helping the people who were kneeling in worship along the way.

On the way, he met Liu Fu who was also walking.

He was also blocked by the people and did not arrive at the city gate in time to greet him.

When they met, Liu Fu looked apologetic and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me for my rudeness."

"Don't worry about these details at this time." Zhao Xu said.

When he arrived at the government office, Zhao Xu comforted the people at the door.

The people who had been following and unwilling to leave dispersed one after another.

Entering the government office, Zhao Xu said to Liu Fu: "In the past two days, you will transfer some officials from Yan County. By the way, you will recruit some local officials to rebuild the officialdom of Shanggu County. In addition, you will count the number of people and fields and distribute the fields."

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Fu was excited.

He dreamed that this day would come soon.

Otherwise, it would be really uncomfortable for him to have a place that he couldn't control within the confines of the land.

Zhao Xu nodded and found that Qin Shan was not there, so he asked, "Where is Qin Shan?"

Liu Fu then told the Shanggu nobles to gather troops at Gaojiawu Fort and Qinshan to besiege Gaojiawu Fort.

Zhao Xu nodded lightly, "Since most of the wealthy families are gathered in Wubao, when Chang Wei and Mo Yu take over the county seat and join forces, they can catch them all in one fell swoop."
