Chapter 246: The Chaos in Hanzhong Begins

"There are so many soldiers in Hanzhong?"

Liu Zhang was really taken aback, Su Gu was too courageous, this did not comply with the regulations at all!

It is not a wartime situation now, neither Yizhou nor Hanzhong is a front-line area, a thousand soldiers in a county is the limit, how could there be so many soldiers!

"Master Taishou doesn't know! Hanzhong County also began to increase soldiers this year. There is no way to do it. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the banditry in Hanzhong County has increased sharply! There are more than ten now! The largest, More than ten thousand people have gathered!"

"Fortunately, His Majesty has a decree to recruit soldiers from all over the country, otherwise Hanzhong would not be as peaceful as it is now! Even so, these bandits are always harassing, making the people miserable!"

Liu Zhang really did not expect that there are so many turmoil behind this seemingly peaceful Hanzhong!

"Didn't Prefect Su give the order to suppress the thieves? You can't just sit and watch them kill one side!"

The contact with Su Gu in the past few days, Liu Zhang feels that he is not a county guard who does nothing, and he will definitely pay attention to this kind of thing!

"Why not? I once gathered three thousand soldiers and went to attack a small village with only more than a thousand bandits. Guess what? I rushed to an empty village! When I went down the mountain, I was ambushed by bandits!"

Yang Lin spoke angrily about his experience of suppressing bandits, and his anger could be imagined from his eyes and tone.

"Is there an internal response?"

"Hey!"

Yang Lin didn't speak, but sighed heavily.

Seeing Yang Lin bumping into Liu Zhang, Yan Shan hurriedly explained for him.

"Don't blame the prefect. Lieutenant Yang has a hot temper, but there is absolutely no malice."

"I know, it seems that this small Hanzhong County cannot be underestimated!"

Liu Zhang smiled and did not blame Yang Lin. But it also refreshed his understanding of Hanzhong.

A majestic county lieutenant, who is in charge of a county's soldiers and horses, will be forced into such a situation!

"Lord Prefect, the 500 soldiers stationed in these counties are the result of the efforts of Prefect Su. With these 500 soldiers, these banditry will not be so rampant. But it is even more difficult to conquer!"

"Why? Wouldn't it be enough to find out the insider?"

Liu Zhang couldn't figure it out at all. It's just such a trivial matter, so why bother?

"Master Taishou, you don't need to pull him, he just stands in front of us swaggeringly, but we can't move, let alone dare to move!"

Yang Lin's voice was full of anger, but also deeply unwilling!

"Hey! What are you talking about! I thought you were a man, but I didn't expect you to be a fucking coward! Don't you dare to be! Tell me about this traitor, and I will kill him alive!"

The more Dian Wei listened, the more angry he became, and the chivalry in his nature also burst out, and he also remembered the scene of beheading Li Yong in his mind.

Yang Lin didn't care about Yi Dianwei's insults, he just hammered the table helplessly.

"It's evil, don't be impatient!"

Liu Zhang knew that things were not that simple, so he stopped the impulsive Dian Wei, although he looked at Yan Shan.

"Yan Juncheng, tell us everything, I must solve this matter for him."

Yan Shan thought for a while, then nodded.

It turns out that the root of everything lies in this Panzhou.

Panzhou was nothing to begin with, and even the Pan family, at most, was an influential family, and they couldn't cover the sky with one hand at all.

But in the past few years, there was a huge change suddenly, and the source of this huge change was that Quejian became the governor of Yizhou!

It is not a secret in Yizhou that the governor of Quejian was bought. People with a little status know how the money came from, but few people know, but Yan Shan knows the story inside.

Yan Shan himself is a Brazilian, an official in Brazil County, and he and Que Jian were colleagues in the early years. But Quejian is greedy and has serious character problems. Yan Shan looks down on him very much, so naturally he has some grievances with Quejian.

Quejian is not a native of Yizhou, and he is in this row. Yizhou outside is not popular, so no family is willing to give him a good face. Until I met Panzhou.

Panzhou has a younger sister named Pan Lian, but after begging to marry Pan Lian, it is logical to get in touch with the Pan family. Afterwards, the Pan family paid money, but frugally found connections, and got him the position of governor of Yizhou for him.

The well-developed but frugal is not ungrateful, and does his best to take care of the Pan family, which has also contributed to Panzhou's detached status in Hanzhong County!

This Panzhou is more than frugal, collecting money, occupying land, and looting houses by force. As long as it is something that can bully the people, he has almost done it all over the place!

Su Gu wanted to deal with Panzhou several times, but unfortunately, he was stopped by Quejian, and he ordered Su Gu not to do anything to Panzhou.

The strange thing is that Panzhou calmed down after this, and he didn't do any excessive behavior anymore. Everyone thought that Panzhou's conscience had discovered it, but he didn't expect him to become even more insane!

Support banditry! Panzhou even secretly supported bandits and looting! Even stealing and plundering can no longer satisfy Panzhou's ambitions, so let him rob in public!

"I've seen that Panzhou is not a thing for a long time, and it really is him!"

Dian Wei cursed, he hated this kind of person the most in his life, and wished he could be killed right away.

"Since the evidence is so convincing, immediately arrest Panzhou and deal with him according to law!"

Liu Zhang was also angry. Hanzhong is his base camp, and such people are absolutely not allowed to exist!

"Lord Taishou calm down, Panzhou cannot move!"

"Why! I'm not afraid of that but frugal!"

"Not only is it frugal, but the food and salaries of the 7,000 soldiers in Hanzhong have to be allocated by the governor's office. Once Panzhou is moved, the food will be cut off in an instant. At that time, so many thieves will attack together, how can we resist?"

Dian Wei directly slapped the table in half, his eyes started to blaze.

"What are you afraid of! If these thieves dare to come, I will chop off their heads one by one!"

Yan Shan glanced at Dian Wei in surprise, then shook his head helplessly.

"General Dian is brave, but how many people can you kill? These gangsters are more or less related to Panzhou! If they join forces, there may be tens of thousands of them!"

Liu Zhang waved to Dian Wei, signaling him to sit down first, and then looked at Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, what do you think we should do?"

Seeing Jia Xu's relaxed expression, Liu Zhang knew that he didn't take these things seriously.

Sure enough, instead of answering, Jia Xu asked Liu Zhang a question.

"Quejian, Panzhou, including these thieves and bandits are not difficult problems. It is easy to deal with them. The key is how to deal with them in our best interest! The subordinates should ask the lord what you want to do!"

Seeing Jia Xu's confident appearance, Liu Zhang also felt relieved, but he also began to think in his mind.

As Jia Xu said, these matters are easy to solve if they are taken separately, but it will undoubtedly waste a lot of manpower and material resources.

"It's better to solve it together! The situation in Liangzhou is changing day by day, we can't waste time on these little people!"

Jia Xu nodded and agreed directly.

"Since that's the case, my lord doesn't have to worry. Let Gongyou go to Luocheng to meet Quejian first, and bring back the things we need first. As for the rest, let's talk about it after Gongyou comes back."

"The lord first showed his affection to Panzhou these days, so that he could feel that the lord attaches great importance to him."

Liu Zhang agreed directly. Although he didn't know Jia Xu's plan, he didn't have any doubts about Jia Xu.

"Gongyou, start as soon as possible! I'll be waiting for your good news in Hanzhong!"
