Chun Yuqiong didn't know if he suddenly had a little consciousness of being a prisoner or felt that this matter was not a big deal, after noticing Liu Yu looking at him, he raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to say: "The second prince has been shouting for revenge since he returned to the city, and even encouraged General Lu Bu to go out of the city and rob the camp at night. (.. In order to ensure the safety of the second son, and in order to unify the order, the old man asked the wolf cavalry, who was of little help to defend the city, to protect the second son and return to Anping first! ”

Liu Yu frowned and asked, "So your family and the treasury of Yecheng have also returned to Anping with Yuan Xi?" ”

Chun Yuqiong's face showed a trace of guilt, and he said with a wry smile: "In order to boost morale, the old man left all his family in Yecheng to show the old man's determination to defend Yecheng!" Speaking of this, he paused, and said to Liu Yu in a begging tone for the first time: "I also hope that the old man will spare the old man's family for the sake of the old man not smuggling the treasury!" ”

"Then it's up to you to perform!" Liu Yu was proud in his heart, but he still had a faint expression on his face.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu's words made Chun Yuqiong angry again, and he roared loudly: "It is absolutely impossible for the old man to surrender to the national thief, Liu Yu, you will die of this heart!" Even if the family is exterminated, the old man must leave a clean slate in this world! ”

"Good, good!" Liu Yu smiled angrily and said: "Since this is the case, this prime minister will fulfill you!" Come on, pull Chun Yuqiong down and behead him! ”

Just when Sergeant Beiwei was ordered to pull the laughing Chun Yuqiong out of the tent, Guo Jia dodged to block the door and yelled: "Slow! ”

"What's wrong?" Liu Yu asked with a frown.

"Look at the prime minister's anger for a while, listen to Weichen's words!" After getting Liu Yu's approval. Guo Jia said unhurriedly: "Xiangye doesn't know, Chun Yuqiong is not only Yuan Shao's best friend of life and death, but also vaguely the leader of the Jizhou Army. At least more than half of the generals in the Jizhou army who were in charge of themselves had served as generals under Chun Yuqiong's account. If Xiangye beheads him, I am afraid that it will arouse the anger of the Jizhou army, and it will cause a great obstacle to our army's entry into Jizhou, please think twice before acting! ”

Liu Yu pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "In the face of the absolute strength of our army, how big a wave can his Jizhou army make?" ”

Guo Jia argued: "Even if the Jizhou army is vulnerable to our army's blow, then there is no need for Xiangye to let our army suffer some losses that could have been avoided because of Chun Yuqiong!" ”

Liu Yu glanced at Chun Yuqiong, who was standing quietly at the door, neither begging for mercy nor death. He made up his mind and said, "Pull it down, cut it!" ”

"Xiangye!" Guo Jia anxiously shouted Liu Yu, but Liu Yu was indifferent. And the back sergeant will naturally not be stopped by him again.

Chun Yuqiong laughed and raised his head, and his self-deceptive voice sounded in his ears: "Liu Yu, you deceive the heavens and the earth, have no respect, and harm living beings; Wolves are unkind! General Yuan will definitely gather volunteers. Sweep away China. Kill the gangsters who are doing your job, support the royal family, and save the people. The old man is willing to pray to heaven with all his blood, hoping that day will come as soon as possible! ”

The voice faded away, Liu Yu glanced at Guo Jia, who was lamenting again and again, and asked, "If this kind of stubborn person doesn't kill him, do you still want me to raise him?" ”

Guo Jia glanced at Liu Yu with some dissatisfaction, and said: "Although Chun Yuqiong is a little stubborn now, but with the means of Xiangye. I believe that in less than a month, he will have to obediently surrender to our army! Why do you have to risk angering the entire army of Jizhou and kill him immediately? ”

Indeed, if you really use the means. It won't take a few breaths to turn Chun Yuqiong into a loyal dog of Liu Yu. The reason why Liu Yu didn't use the charm technique was just because Liu Yu didn't have a very strong desire to take him as a subordinate! First, because this Chun Yuqiong's comprehensive ability only belongs to the middle and upper stage in Liu Yujun, second, he is a little older, and third, Liu Yu wants to establish a model of a loyal minister on a whim.

It has been more than ten years since he came to this world, and Liu Yu has not killed a famous captive by relying on the super cheat of "Charm Technique", as long as Liu Yu encounters the famous characters of the Three Kingdoms, almost all of them have been caught by him. But today, Liu Yu didn't know which tendon was wrong, and suddenly wanted to kill a loyal minister who didn't want to be the second master, so that he could go down in history.

Of course, Liu Yu's inexplicable idea can't be publicized, so he changed the topic after smiling at Guo Jia and asked, "Have the results been counted?" ”

Guo Jia sighed helplessly and replied: "In this battle, our army's thunderbolt cars were damaged by mechanical reasons, and the wells on the front line lost 475 planes. More than 8,000 infantry were killed, and nearly 10,000 were seriously wounded. The dead of archers were close to one and a half thousand, and the number of seriously wounded was less than three thousand. The cavalry lost more than a thousand after entering the city, but less than two hundred died on the spot. More than 14,000 Yecheng soldiers died in the hands of our army, and after the war, our army collected 38,000 prisoners, including 26,000 archers and 12,000 infantry. ”

I didn't expect that in just two hours, our army suffered such a big loss, it seems that the battle is really difficult to fight! Liu Yu sighed and shook his head, and asked again, "Have the treasury and granary of Yecheng been occupied?" You haven't been robbed by people fishing in troubled waters, have you? ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Because there is nothing to stop in the city, the treasury and granary have not been taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao when our army arrives. ”

Liu Yu put his mind at ease and asked with a smile: "Yecheng is the second largest county in Jizhou, our harvest should be good, right?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head, and he didn't know what he was sighing about, and then he said in Liu Yu's glare: "The specific loot is still being counted, and Lord Zhong Xuan will report it to Xiangye later!" ”

Liu Yu nodded, and was about to speak, when one of the two back-to-back sergeants who had escorted Chun Yuqiong out walked in, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Xiangye, the thief general Chun Yuqiong has been executed, and the head is now outside, do you want to see it?" ”

What's so nice about a dead man's head! Liu Yu shook his head and said, "No, you will bury Chun Yu Qiong Hou!" When the back sergeant was about to withdraw, Liu Yu stopped him again: "By the way, you pass on my order again, so that the army can lift the first-level alert and rest here." Madame, you should also report it. Just say I'm in the city, and let them follow!" ”

###########################################################

Liu Yu and Guo Jia slowly entered the city under the escort of the Beiwei army, although it was almost noon. But there are hardly any pedestrians to be seen on the streets. Many of the houses on both sides of the street have been burned or broken by blunt objects, and even several houses are faintly heard bursts of miserable and abnormal cries.

Liu Yu knew that in wars, it often happened that the victorious side burned, killed, looted, and strengthened the defeated side, although his army had been educated by the "military and civilian fish and water conditions", and Liu Yu also sent Zuo Lengchan to maintain military discipline, but Liu Yu was still afraid that some "rat feces" would destroy the glorious image of Liu Yujun's army in the hearts of the people of Jizhou!

By the time Liu Yu arrived at Chun Yuqiong's Governor's Mansion, Zuo Lengchan, who had received the news, was already waiting there.

"How about it, are there many people who want to fish in troubled waters and rob while the fire is hot? Did it cause too much harm to the people of Yecheng? As soon as he saw Zuo Lengchan, Liu Yu asked directly.

"Back to the master's words." Zuo Lengchan knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "After the minions entered the city, the situation in the city has been basically controlled by the rangers, so the minions have not encountered many lawbreakers who take advantage of the fire to rob. Probably only a hundred people were cleared! ”

Liu Yu nodded, and asked again, "What about the people who violated military discipline?" How many have you come across? ”

Zuo Lengchan raised his head, looked at Liu Yu with a flattering expression and said, "The master under the leadership of the master is a teacher of justice, and he will only protect the people. Definitely won't hurt them in turn! ”

"Don't talk about it here." For this guy who has already melted the behavior of "sycophancy" into his soul, Liu Yu has no good way to teach him a lesson. I had to laugh and scold: "Let's get to the point!" ”

"Yes, yes. The servants led people to inspect the city, and found that there were very few soldiers who dared to disobey the military discipline set by their masters. So far, the minions have only killed thirty-six of the ones who have the guts to get hairy. ”

Liu Yu snorted coldly and asked, "Have you got those people's military cards?" ”

"Got it! There are three bronze medals, ten steel medals and twenty-three iron medals. ”

The so-called "military badge" is something that Liu Yu made by imitating the kind of necklace of the United States Marine Corps for the convenience of management, and its thickness is about five millimeters, similar in size to a bank card. On one side is engraved the name of the owner of the badge and the date he joined the army. On the other side is engraved the position he held and the number of the unit he was in.

The military badges of ordinary soldiers are made of iron, and the junior officers who command more than 10 soldiers use steel military badges. Bronze medals are used for middle- and lower-ranking officers commanding more than 100 troops, silver medals are used for middle- and upper-level officers commanding more than 1,000 troops, and gold medals are used for senior officers commanding more than 10,000 troops.

The perpetrators of this crime were all middle- and lower-level soldiers, although Liu Yu felt gratified, but it still couldn't extinguish the anger in Liu Yu's heart. He turned to Guo Jia and said, "When you go down later, you will write down the names of those thirty-six people and the troops to which they belong and inform the whole army." They themselves will be expelled from the military and their families will be treated as military dependents, and of course, pensions will not be paid. As for the unit he is in, well, he will be fined three months' salary to his immediate commander. What do you think of this treatment? ”

Guo Jia gave Liu Yu a thumbs up and praised: "Xiangye is wise, and Weichen admires it!" ”

Just when Liu Yu was about to be modest, the soldiers of the Beiwei Army outside the door came in to report that Zhong Yu had arrived. Liu Yu immediately stopped the nonsense that was about to blurt out, and passed Zhong Xuan to see him.

"Weichen see Xiangye." As soon as Zhong Yu came in, he bowed to Liu Yu.

"Haha, Yuan Chang is quick and exempt." As soon as he saw this fat and fat Zhong Yu with a blessed face, he couldn't help but feel comfortable, so he asked with a smile: "I heard that Feng Xiao said that you are counting the loot, so you are busy now, right?" ”

Zhong Xuan smiled slightly, glanced at Guo Jia and said, "Wei Chen, with the help of Zhuge Jin, Sima Lang, Chen Zhen, and Yi Yuan, has already counted the loot collected by our army, and now he has come to report to Xiangye!" ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Sit down and say." ”

Zhong Yu thanked Liu Yu, and then sat on the brocade stool designed by Liu Yu himself brought for him by Sergeant Beiwei, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Guo Jia: "Xiangye, Weichen is not seated yet?" ”

Liu Yu glanced at him, waved his hand impatiently and said, "What seat are you sitting on?" Didn't I just tell you about it? If you don't do it now, do you want to wait until the evening? ”

Guo Jia was choked by Liu Yu and couldn't speak. After glancing at Liu Yu resentfully, Fang Cai followed Zuo Lengchan with a helpless expression. After the idlers left, Liu Yu looked at Zhong Xuan and asked, "Tell me what Yecheng, which is known as the 'second largest county in Jizhou', has given us?" ”

"Returning to Xiangye." Zhong Xuan said without hurry: "Yuan Shao has built three granaries in Yecheng, one large and two small. One of the two small granaries was dedicated to storing forage, and it was initially estimated that it could feed 30,000 war horses for four months. The grain stored in the two grain warehouses, one large and one small, is about 670,000 to 700,000 stone, and with the grain stored in the people, it can basically feed all the residents in Yecheng City for more than a year. ”

So much, it seems that Yuan Shao really plans to fight a protracted war with me! However, he overestimated the combat effectiveness of his own army and underestimated the advanced nature of our army's siege equipment...... Liu Yu sighed for a while, and then returned to the topic: "Since Yecheng has so much grain and grass. Then its treasury must not be less, right? ”

"Xiangye's expectations are bad, and the treasury of Yecheng Mansion is not rich. After the inventory of the ministers, there were: nearly 40,000 taels of gold. 250,000 taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of copper coins. In addition, there are armaments and weapons that can equip 20,000 people and more than 2 million arrows. ”

The second largest county in Jizhou only has a mere 40,000 taels of gold and 250,000 taels of silver in its treasury? It seems that it should be spent on grain, grass, and weapons, but I don't know if it is a prosperous trading company that does business with them? Su Shuang, who can make a lot of money in a business like this, shouldn't give up easily, right?

Liu Yu, who was slightly satisfied, sent Zhong Xuan to deal with government affairs, while he walked to the courtyard where Ren Hongchang and the others stayed. When Liu Yu walked in. Ren Hongchang and the others probably just settled down. One by one, they are washing their hands and cleaning their faces under the service of Luan Fengwei!

After seeing Liu Yu, Luo Li'er, who seemed to have been prepared, immediately stepped forward and said to Liu Yu with a shy face: "Xiangye, please allow your subordinates to clean your face." ”

Liu Yu smiled and nodded, and asked her to wipe his face with the warm and wet towel in her hand. Ren Hongchang and the others also gathered around and asked, "Husband, why did you come back so early?" ”

While cooperating with Luo Li'er's movements, Liu Yu said to Ren Hongchang and the others: "The important things are basically done. The rest of Guo Jia and Zhong Xuan can handle it by themselves! By the way, cooking. I didn't even eat breakfast or lunch! ”

After listening to Liu Yu's words, Zou Zhiruo looked apologetic and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, husband, the concubine is going to cook food for you." You can eat a little bit of heart to cushion your stomach first, and you can start eating in a quarter of an hour! After speaking, he walked quickly to the kitchen with a few Luan Fengwei.

Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Yu asked Ren Hongchang: "Among the other princes' forces, what other negative evaluations do you have for me besides the words of killing and lustful?" ”

Ren Hongchang frowned slightly, then shook his head vigorously, and said: "The world's criticism of the husband is 'cruel and murderous, greedy for flowers and lust', and there is nothing else!" ”

Liu Yu pulled Ren Hongchang into his arms, slapped her buttocks a few times, and scolded with a smile: "How long do you still want to deceive your husband?" Today, Chun Yuqiong's old guy pointed at your husband's nose and scolded me for 'deceiving the heavens and the earth, and having no respect'! Tell me, I'm going to hear what others say about me! ”

Ren Hongchang first glanced at Liu Yu timidly, saw that Liu Yu was not really angry, and then got tired of being in his arms, and said in a snort: "Actually, there is nothing, it can be summed up in four aspects." The first aspect is naturally to say that your methods against the border tribes such as Xianbei and Wuhuan are too brutal, which damages the demeanor of the important ministers of the kingdom. And he is extremely fond of beauty, and has no gentlemanly virtue. ”

Liu Yu said disdainfully: "What do you mean by the demeanor of a major minister of the kingdom'?" Do I have to smile and tell him, 'It's okay, you can hit me harder?' The people who say these words definitely have the potential to be traitors, and once the foreign invasion is made, I am afraid that they will immediately become traitors! Hmph, isn't there no 'gentleman's virtue' if you like beautiful women? Even the sage of Confucius said the words 'My fair lady, a gentleman is good', 'food and sex', why don't those people scold this Confucian ancestor? These guys know how to bully honest people......"

After listening to Liu Yu's complaints, Fan Lihua and the others all chuckled, and Ren Hongchang even raised his head and kissed Liu Yu on the face before continuing: "The second aspect is mainly to say that the husband has turned the court into your own 'Yiyan Hall'. Even the Confucian bigwigs like Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi, and Kong Rong didn't dare to refute your proposal under your oppression. ”

Snorted, Liu Yu said slightly angrily: "Is this the opposite?" In addition to Kong Rong, a representative of the young generation of Confucianism who is less than forty years old, Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi are not the first to see me, and I will follow the old and sell the old a few lessons! Can this be called 'oppression'? Obviously, I didn't dare to talk back under their oppression! As for their opinions, they haven't objected to my opinion much, and that's because my proposals are really a policy for strengthening the country and enriching the people for my Han Qianqiu, how can a great Confucian like them oppose it?! Oh, by the way, is it because of this rumor that Confucianism will abandon me to support Yuan Shao? ”

Ren Hongchang blinked her big beautiful eyes and asked suspiciously, "When did the Confucian sect announce its support for Yuan Shao?" ”

"Why don't you know?" Liu Yu was a little surprised by the omissions of several intelligence agencies in his hands. I was also a little skeptical about the correctness of this news, and couldn't help but say: "This news was told to me by Chun Yuqiong's old guy, there shouldn't be any need for him to lie to me, right?" ”

Ren Hongchang showed a look of sudden realization when he heard this. said with a smile: "Chun Yuqiong didn't lie to you, Yuan Shao was supported by Confucianism, but it was only the Confucian scholars in Jizhou who supported him!" ”

Liu Yu asked with some confusion: "So, Confucianism is not a whole, right?" ”

"Of course!" Ren Hongchang glanced at Liu Yu. He explained helplessly: "Confucianism is just an academic school. Instead of a combination of rivers and lakes, there is naturally no strict structure, and those who can unite scholars from all over the world are Confucian masters from all over the world. Today's most appealing Confucian masters are Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan's influence is in the classics and history, and Lu Zhi's influence is in the army. It can be said that with the two of them in hand, the husband can get the support of more than half of the power of Confucianism! ”

At Liu Yu's suggestion, Ren Hongchang continued: "The third aspect of the rumors that are unfavorable to the husband is mainly aimed at the words and deeds of the husband and the inferiority. said that you were in vain, not only to the emperor. and scolded at will, this is also the most criticized place for the husband in the world! ”

"Although the rumors are slightly exaggerated. But I still admit that I do have some disrespect. Liu Yu nodded and said, "Let's talk about the last unfavorable rumor!" ”

After Ren Hongchang glanced at Liu Yu, he said: "The last rumor is that you are filthy and forbidden in the palace, and you are also threatening the queen mother to sleep with the safety of the emperor. ”

Liu Yu's eyes widened, and his eyes became cold and said, "Hongchang, can you find out who is spreading these rumors?" ”

Ren Hongchang shook his head and said: "These rumors are mainly spread in the six prefectures of Qinghai, Hebei, Liang, Yong, Yi, Jiao, Jingnan and Jiangdong, and it is difficult to investigate. ”

Hanzhong? Zhang Lu? Hey, that Taoist priest shouldn't have such guts, right? So who will be responsible for this plan to "move the trouble of Hanzhong"? Cao Cao? Sun Jian? Liu Yu suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Hongchang, didn't those rumors spread in Xuzhou?" ”

"Yes," Ren Hongchang nodded and said, "When the rumors spread from Jiangdong to Xuzhou, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian issued a 'gag order', prohibiting the people of Xuzhou from talking about these things in public. ”

Liu Yu sighed and said, "Hongchang, when you return to Luoyang, you will start investigating the people in the palace, I want to see who has the courage to chew the root of the tongue outside!" After Ren Hongchang answered, Liu Yu asked again: "By the way, in the afternoon, you contact the detective of Yecheng and ask him if he knows why Yuan Shao sent his son here!" ”

Ren Hongchang said with some pride: "When we first entered the city, the concubine had already contacted Detective Wang of Yecheng, and the concubine had also asked about the things that the husband wanted to know. ”

Liu Yu kissed Ren Hongchang's pretty face with some surprise, and praised with a smile: "Baby'er is really recognized by her husband's confidant!" Let's talk about it, does that Detective Wang know the reason? ”

Ren Hongchang nodded, and said with a hint of amusement: "That Yuan Shao's second son is still similar to your husband, and they are all guys who work hard for the sake of beauty!" ”

Liu Yu's interest was aroused: "Did that guy Yuan Xi come here because there are beautiful women in Yecheng?" ”

Ren Hongchang glanced at Liu Yu, pouted and said, "Husband, what kind of garlic are you pretending?" Don't you know that the fifth-ranked 'Luoshui Goddess' on the 'Stunning List' lives in Yecheng? ”

"Huh?" Liu Yu was taken aback: "Does Xiao Zhen Mi live here?" (To be continued.) )
